DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beware the Super Lice! That's the headline on news stories from many of the largest media organizations today.
Dr. Kyong Yoon, who has researched pesticide resistance in head lice since the 1990s released an update showing that head lice in 83 percent of the states he sampled—including Texas—now have gene mutations making them resistant to pesticides in the most popular lice shampoos.
Parents around the country are no doubt slapping their heads and saying, "So that's why I couldn't get rid of my kid's lice infestation!"
Lucky for them, there is Lice Clinics of America, a professional lice service that kills head lice with heated air using AirAllé, a patented, FDA-cleared medical device.
"Nearly every person who comes through here has tried the name-brand lice shampoos first," said Mag Muldoon, owner of AirAllé Dallas, a Dallas-based lice clinic. "They can't understand why the shampoos and over the counter products don't work, but they sure are happy when they leave here an hour later, lice-free."
AirAllé Dallas, which treats over 100 lice patients a month, is a Preferred Provider in the Lice Clinics of America network. That means all its technicians are certified AirAllé operators.
AirAllé Dallas with 3 locations in the Dallas Metroplex is located at: 4054 McKinney Ave Suite 202 Dallas, 8241 Mid Cities Blvd Suite 101, North Richland Hills, and 6300 Stonewood Dr Suite 106A, Plano. The clinics are open seven days a week by appointment only. AirAllé treatments take about an hour, and come with a 14-day guarantee.
