Boston Families See Surge in Incidence of Super Lice

Boston, MA, February 05, 2021 --(PR.com)-- LiceDoctors Lice Treatment and Nit Removal Service reports that it has received several calls from frustrated parents in the Boston area looking for relief from head lice. LiceDoctors is a national lice removal service that makes house calls to families all over Massachusetts.

According to LiceDoctors owner, Karen Sokoloff, "This is unexpected for families whose kids have stayed closer to home and have been in less contact with other children. LiceDoctors Lice Treatment and Nit Removal Service reports that it has received above average number of calls from worried parents in the metro Boston area looking for help for head lice which have resisted traditional chemical treatments; these extremely hearty lice are called 'super lice'."

According LiceDoctors owner, Karen Sokoloff, "The incidence usually starts with a a few kids who play with others and they don't even realize that one of them has head lice. We are surprised at the number of calls we have been getting in Boston and suburbs like Newton, Hingham, Andover, Cambridge, Brookline, and many others since so many kids are at home."

Kara L., a parent with two elementary school children, is one such example. "I thought my kids were safe from lice now since they are home much of the time. We fought it a few years ago and it was impossible. This time, I called LiceDoctors and they got rid of the problem without having it recur."

Sokoloff advises that parents check their children on a weekly basis using a bright lamp. "You want to catch it early if possible as it is easier to get rid of then You are looking for eggs the size of a sesame seed or smaller. They will appear brown against a white background. If you can't remove them all, call a professional who knows what to look for and guarantees the service works."
