Use and Procedure
The National Pediculosis Association recommends the following for lice and
nit removal.
| 1. |
Work under a good
light, such as a lamp or the natural sunlight from sitting by a window
or going outdoors. |
| 2. |
Use a grooming comb
or hairbrush to remove tangles then divide the hair in sections and
fasten off the hair that is not being worked on. |
| 3. |
Using the LiceMeister®
comb, go through the section from the scalp to the end of the hair.
You can dip the comb into a cup of water, use a paper towel, or use
the LiceMeister® comb cleaning device to remove any lice, nits
or debris from the comb between passes. |
| 4. |
Even under the best
of conditions, a few lice or nits may be missed. Use the LiceMeister®
comb to screen the infested person every day and regularly thereafter. |

Customer
Testimonials and Example Uses
The following
are a few customer testimonials that were received by the National Pediculosis
Association:
 |
"This product
is the most effective comb on the market in combing out lice and their
eggs from students' hair, and I have not seen any other comparable
product. Parents who have used the LiceMeister comb have told us that
it reduces combing time from several hours to 20 or 30 minutes. This
product has improved attendance and given us a viable solution to
dealing with the ever-present problem of head lice. I am in my 20th
year of school health, and am familiar with many products. This one
is the best yet."
Marilyn
Koop, Supervisor of Student Services
Health Pasco County District School Board
"We received a LiceMeister comb from a friend. It has been the
only thing that has gotten rid of nits without hours of pulling and
crying. It has changed our outlook on head lice. Thank You!"
Mary E.,Mom
Des Moines, Iowa
"After literally 4 hours of trying to remove nits from
an infested child with another lice comb (which was utterly useless)....
the school health secretary brought over the LiceMeister. Within an
hour, 99% of the nits were gone. It was amazing! We now recommend
the LiceMeister to all our families. Thank you for promoting the LiceMeister
comb!!!"
