Is a Super Lice Headed to Idaho?!

Have you heard about the Super Lice that could be headed our way? My neighbors were talking about it and it's scary!

A Super Lice outbreak has hit 25 states. The worst part about this Super Lice is that over the counter medication will only successfully treat 25% of the cases. A new FDA approved medication is more effective, but it's costing patients around $170. AirAlle uses heated air to dehydrate the lice and it's eggs. Insiders say it only takes about an hour to work. States hit hardest by the lice infestation are Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Washington, and California.

Shirley in Middleton gave us a call this morning and she says you can use NIX shampoo as a preventative medication for lice.

We don't have super lice here in Idaho yet, but you may want to start checking your kids!
