But man, if one of my girls ever gets it, I will totally be banging down the door of Nitwits...which I just heard about today! Here's their press release:
********************
Head lice removal clinic, first of its kind to open its doors in North Toronto
It is a lousy job, but someone has to do it!
It’s that time of year again: the back-to-school season when parents brace for homework, teacher meetings and, yep, lice. Fortunately, Nitwits Toronto Lice Clinic, North Toronto’s first one-stop shop for lice treatment, prevention and education, opened its doors, Monday, September 10th.
Why waste time combing the city for ineffective, off-the-shelf lice kits? At Nitwits Toronto Lice Clinic, our highly trained professionals will provide accurate diagnoses and swift removal of head lice in a private and professional environment. The clinic features superior lighting, hydraulic chairs and TVs at each station for your comfort and convenience.
Shawnda Walker, Founder and Chief Nitwit, is the first Canadian certified by The Shepherd Institute – a research, education and lice removal treatment center. Our professionally trained staff utilize The Shepherd Method™ of Strand by Strand Nit Removal. We take the time to remove nits properly from each and every strand of hair. Furthermore, our non-toxic products are designed to help facilitate lice removal. Our services are guaranteed!
“People want a safe and comfortable setting for the efficient treatment of head lice,” says Shawnda Walker. “Nitwits Lice Clinic is a natural extension of my two years’ of helping families deal with head lice and providing home services to across the GTA”
Head lice are more common than you think. In fact, nearly 10% of students contract lice at one time or another. Unfortunately, many of these cases go unreported because of the social stigma surrounding these pesky insects. That’s why Nitwits Lice Clinic is a place where people are encouraged to talk openly about lice. We also work with students, parents and school staff to provide proper education on prevention and treatment strategies.
