We have taken all the information currently available and will continue to be update on a regular basis by us the online community and by the administrators as they seek out new and more solutions to life's everyday challenges. When i started writing again i thought ok maybe i can write about fun fashion. not knowing i would be writing about the nasty little critters. but as all my best work before this. here is the research and findings
headlice.org
They represent a product line and go on to say this:
- "Unlike other combs, the LiceMeister maintains 100% integrity after boiling" (agreement with the CDC, the AAP and many others including Lice Safe)
- "The back-to-basics approach. No gimmicks like fluorescent lights and electric shocks
- The first and only comb to meet the NPA's quality standards and receive the NPA's endorsement
- Fully Guaranteed - The cost-effective, reusable tool for the entire family fully guaranteed to last through the school-aged years. Parents can remove lice and nits from their kids and themselves" ...Q: Why would you ant to reuse the comb, disposable combs are more sanitary.
- "Provides a safe and effective non-chemical treatment alternative for "kids at risk" and others choosing to avoid pesticides
- Prevents unnecessary and direct exposures to ineffective and potentially harmful pesticides
- An earth-friendly alternative to address increasing concerns over lice treatments polluting our environment and water supplies
- Provides the rational solution to resistant lice
- The only brand name that does not promote pesticides, other chemicals, sprays, lotions, repellents or unproven concoctions" False
- "Enables regular screening and early detection in addition to thorough removal of lice and nits

- The NPA is a non-profit organization independent of lice treatment manufacturers. Proceeds from the Lice Meister comb, kit and educational resources support its programs of outreach, prevention and research"
So you decide do they or don't they represent a product line for lice treatment. It's clear to me that they do. although we agree on many other points..
cdc.gov
"Apply lice medicine, also called pediculicide (peh-DICKyou- luh-side), according to label instructions. If your child has extra long hair (longer than shoulder length), you may need to use a second bottle. Pay special attention to instructions on the bottle regarding how long the medication should be left on and whether rinsing the hair is recommended after treatment.." said the CDC and they go on to say "To kill lice and nits, machine wash all washable clothing and bed linens that the infested person wore or used during the 2 days before treatment. Use the hot water (130°F) cycle. Dry laundry using high heat for at least 20 minutes."

The lice and nymphs are instantly destroyed and nits / eggs are released from hair shaft over time. These natural fluids are used in cosmetics, deodorants, shaving gels and hair conditioners. Contrary to the damaging effects of other products chemical compounds, LICE SAFE™ hair treatments condition the hair follicle with natural healing properties to restore and improve the hairs original pre-treatment condition. LICE SAFE™ does not aggressively attack the scalp or any skin areas that come in contact with it. Clients using the product for head lice control enjoy a soothing scalp sensation. Because of the controlled molecular weight, the product will never penetrate beyond the epidermal layer of human skin and subsequently cannot migrate into the blood stream to create nausea in the patient. The treatment in conjunction with the Licen™ Tool, offers the solution to nit picking, by incinerating the egg. It’s left as a hollow shell which creates a cavity for the treatment to enter the hair and dissolves the nit glue from the inside out.
