Headhunters Aims to Attack Georgia's Head Lice Epidemic

ROSWELL, GA, August 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) All Georgia schools are back in session and that means there will be more cases of head lice found. Head lice normally do not show symptoms until they have already spread throughout the family or classroom. School and day care settings are perfect places for transferring head lice from child to child. Teachers and parents may need to be especially vigilant against these pests since school has started.

Headhunters Lice Removal Service is celebrating their three year anniversary. They are aimed at attacking the rising head lice epidemic by offering free head checks through the month of September.

Head lice normally do not show symptoms until they have already spread throughout the family or classroom. School and day care settings are perfect places for transferring head lice from child to child. Teachers and parents may need to be especially vigilant against these pests since school has started.Head lice are not pleasant to think about but there is some good news. Headhunters expertise and techniques enables them to provide a head check that is 99% accurate. The rates of infestations have come to epidemic levels because of the failure to completely get rid of a prior head lice infestation.

Tommy Lambert founder of Headhunters says, "The number one reason for the epidemic is the misinformation that circulates and gets passed around, almost like it is its own infestation. A key point to take into consideration is that if the mother of a child that has a case of head lice has a 54% chance of having it herself. Also, if a mother has two children that have it at the same time, she then has an 87% chance of having head lice herself. In today's Facebook age, we encourage everyone to be socially responsible and proactive about head lice, instead of being embarrassed by the stigma associated with it." All cases of head lice are not the same. Based on the experience of Headhunters L.R.S., a few nits only show exposure, not a full infestation. It is recommended to properly check so an infestation does not progress.

"Headhunters L.R.S. has become much more than I could ever imagine", says Lambert, now in their third year of business. "Our passion is to help families and to treat everyone as they are part of our family. Being able to educate families on head lice extends our reach as a service. In turn fulfills our need in helping families combat the problem. Rest assured those that have visited us at our facility are given a great lesson on head lice in hopes that they will be proactive in helping with the issues others may be dealing with," Lambert stated.

In recognition of Head Lice Awareness Month and to further help families of Georgia, Headhunters L.R.S. is providing free thorough head checks to everyone.

Headhunters Lice Removal Service is family owned and operated.
