A modern gadget that promises to eliminate lice and nits from the head of our children with 98 percent effectiveness was tested.
It is a kind of dryer and at the same time a hair vacuum called Louse Buster which uses the action of hot air to fight annoying visitors.
Scientists at the University of Utah conducted a study to verify its effectiveness and concluded that a week after applying the treatment for half an hour the children's heads were free of lice.
The device managed to kill all the nits through the heat and almost all the lice. Those who failed to kill, could not procreate and also died.
Do not try to fight your children's lice with a normal hair dryer because it would not work. The air is much hotter and the device is designed so that the roots of the hair, where lice usually stay, are exposed to heat.
In addition, the new system has the advantage that lice could not be immunized or create resistance against heat as it usually happens with some medications.
It is believed that about two years we can throw away all those useless chemicals against lice and get the new device on the market.
The price is not yet determined, but it is believed that it will be accessible.
