Head Lice have grown resistant to standard OTC treatments

In a recent article in The Journal of Medical Entomology, authored by John Clark, a professor of environmental toxicology and chemistry at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, findings have found that head lice in the United States and Canada have developed a genetic mutation making them almost entirely resistant to over the counter treatments. "This is a problem we've been showing in development over a period of about 20 years. But our new work now shows that head lice are now almost 100 percent resistant to over the counter treatments,” says Clark in a recent interview with WebMD. His studies have revealed that the rate of resistance in the U.S. lice population began to approach 100 percent of the lice population between 2007 and 2009.

Many families are turning to the manual removal process pioneered by us here at Hair Fairies. Our process doesn’t use any of the chemicals included in  over the counter remedies, instead we focus on removing the head lice and their eggs from the hair and scalp with a manual comb out with a non-toxic formula. Our all natural product works with the combing process to create a 100% safe treatment process that is guaranteed to be effective and environmentally friendly.
