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!!!"
