Advice that wastes your time when treating head lice.

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Hate the description “Busy Mum”?  Ever met a mum that wasn’t busy!

So if your child happens to get a case of head lice that is one more task for you to deal with.  Now, imagine that you get advice the following advice on this new problem from a, so called, expert- 


“To kill lice and nits, machine wash all washable clothing and bed linens that the infested person wore or used during the 2 days before treatment. Use the hot water (130°F) cycle. Dry laundry using high heat for at least 20 minutes.” 

And then they add-

“Dry clean clothing that is not washable, (coats, hats, scarves, etc.)” 

 Oops, that just added a ton of work to you day didn’t it! And the cost will be phenomenal.


Boy you must be able to see those head lice crawling about all over the place, right? Wrong!

Go on, have a look for yourself. Find me a head louse in your home. Please, before you commit to all that work just take a real close look and see if you can find just one head louse off a head. Should be easy if all those web sites tell you to clean and hoover and scrub them away shouldn’t it.

I tell you what, if you have a library near you, especially a medical library, why not ask the librarian to do a literature search for you. Ask them to match head lice and environment and see what they come up with. Might take them a day or two but they love a challenge. 

Let’s talk again once you have the results of this little test.

Head lice treatment advice is a scandal.

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

Would it surprise you to find out that one of the most commonly quoted pieces of, so called, head lice advice was wrong?

What if this piece of advice caused already stressed and overworked parents to spend hours and hours of their valuable time on a pointless and totally unproductive task? Wouldn’t you think that these parents would be angry to find out that apparently authoritive web sites were peddling nonsense while claiming to be providing valuable head lice treatment advice?

You bet they would!

Well, we are fed up of this scandalous situation and are going to start locking horns with these irresponsible sources of poor information and start challenging them to produce justification and support for their so called advice.

And the first source is no less than the CDC, the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. Stay tuned for our first salvo against poor head lice advice.

Friday, March 16th, 2007
Our all natural head lice treatment has been sold to customers in over 30 countries since we first went online in 1997 but we have rarely attended live marketing events. That changed when NITMIX Ltd shared a stand at the Professional Beauty Exhibition 2007 at Excel in the London Docklands on 25th to the 27th February 2007.   

This premier event attracts beauticians and hairdressers from all over Europe and is especially popular with beauty students. What better audience for NITMIX to and our unique approach to removing and preventing head lice! Many hairdresser expressed interest in being able to introduce their customers to the NITMIX head lice control system and also to operate as distributors for NITMIX products.

John Owen, C.E.O of NITMIX said their first exhibition was a great success and was looking forward to attending further events in 2007.
