MORRISVILLE, N.C., Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Students are
heading back into the classroom, which means every family is at
risk for the spread of lice, and super lice, in their homes.
Vamousse Lice Treatment is clinically proven to kill lice and their
eggs in a single treatment1, and is effective against
super lice that have become resistant to two major pesticides –
permethrin and pyrethroids. The treatment is available
over-the-counter (OTC) without a prescription or physician's visit,
so parents can begin to control lice immediately.
Lori Haapala, RN, BSN, and a
school nurse with Kanawha County Schools, helps families with lice
infestations. "When a child has contracted head lice at school, the
real issue is preventing the spread of it at home amongst siblings
and other family members," said Haapala. "Head lice can be an
extremely daunting and frustrating experience for both the parent
and child. With vigilance, problems can be detected early-on,
diminishing the likelihood of it spreading to the rest of the
family and allowing the situation to be resolved faster."
Unfortunately, lice are an irritating reality of childhood. The
CDC estimates as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in
the United States and studies have
shown that it's most common among preschool and school-aged
children.2 Vamousse Lice Treatment enables parents to
end an infestation fast with ingredients they can feel good about.
Kids will appreciate it too – the mousse is a fun component and
smells good. The treatment resolves the situation with the first
application – "once and done" and kids are back to focusing on
learning, not dealing with the itchy effects of head lice.
"Parents have a treatment option that not only is safe and
affordable, but goes to work on both lice and eggs during the same
application – providing a quick, reliable experience," said
Jason Schmidt, an entomologist and
Director of Product Development for TyraTech, makers of Vamousse.
"Vamousse Lice Treatment can help relieve the stress parents often
feel when their child is suffering from head lice."
Vamousse Lice Treatment represents a new generation of head lice
solutions. It works differently than traditional OTC products, as
the active ingredient, natrum muriaticum, dehydrates the lice
without using a pesticide.
To empower parents to remain vigilant with care, beyond
conducting daily head checks, Vamousse offers a gentle, non-toxic
daily shampoo – Vamousse Lice Defense – that kills lice3
and is recommended for use during high-risk periods, and for 10 to
14 days after potential exposure. Like all Vamousse lice products,
Lice Defense is safe enough for use by the entire family, including
children as young as two.
