“Lice is a scary word that no parent wants to hear when getting a call from their children’s school,” Andrea Hecht, co-founder of the Lice Crew,
said. “Unfortunately it does happen and treatment has been more and more difficult with the recent super lice strain that is on the rise.”
The Lice Crew says, according to recent findings, over 98 per cent of lice cases are the new “super lice” variety that are resistant to many over-the-counter treatments.
Prices range from $20 for a head lice screening to $80 per hour for lice removal treatment.
