Head lice are small, wingless insects that live off blood on human scalps. Fully
adult lice are typically 2 - 3 mm in length. Their colour varies from off-white to
brown. The lice eggs are beige-brown in colour and stick to the hairline on your
scalp. Head lice hatch after 7 to 10 days; the white shells they leave behind are
known as nits.
An average affliction is about 10 lice. If left untreated, the number of lice on
your scalp can quickly increase to 200. Lice can neither jump nor fly; this is why
they can only be transmitted through direct head-to-head contact. However, it
is also possible for lice to survive on textiles for a short period of time. Anyone
can get lice, regardless of age, race and social standing. Lice are a problem that
effect society at large; they are not just limited to schools and kindergartens.
Contrary to popular belief, head lice can inhabit all types of hair – not just
unwashed or dirty hair.
The MEDISANA electric lice comb LCS effectively eliminates head lice without
having to resort to chemical means. It works by creating an electric charge bet-
ween the teeth that kills off the lice and their eggs on contact. The electric
charge is so small that users will not notice it; it is absolutely safe to use. Comb
activity is indicated by an audible signal.
The unit is powered by conventional AA batteries.
The MEDISANA electric lice comb LCS is suitable for adults and children over
the age of 3. The comb can also be applied to household pets, such as dogs
and cats.
