LiceDoctors Head Lice Treatment Service Reports that Tampa Faces Lice Outbreak

Tampa, FL, November 28, 2013 --(PR.com)-- LiceDoctors Head Lice Treatment and Nit Removal Service reports that there is a surge in the number of cases that it is seeing in Tampa, Florida and surrounding areas. Wendy Beck, owner of LiceDoctors, states that the increase in incidence of lice is unusual for this time of the year, but is typical for after the Thanksgiving holiday when families are in close contact with each other. Generally, lice are transmitted through head to head contact. Beck attributes the increase to the growing resistance of lice to chemical shampoos.

Over the past several years, lice have mutated and adapted to chemical lice treatments that formerly were effective. In addition, some of the more efficacious chemicals have been removed as they were deemed dangerous. "We have seen thousands of cases of families over the past 18 years who have used the chemical shampoos and still see live bugs in their hair. The hearty strains of lice are dubbed "super lice." The only way to eliminate the nits is to physically pull them from the hair. The problem is that the nits are difficult to find and it often takes the trained eye of a professional to get them all out. If a couple of nits remain in the hair, the case will persist," reports Beck.

LiceDoctors now services over 50 major cities and nearby towns across the nation including Farifax County, Virginia, District of Columbia and Maryland, making it the largest head lice treatment company in the country.

LiceDoctors combines the expertise and resources of a national lice removal services with the accessibility and personal touch of a local business.
