I don't know personally, so I went searching for reviews. Here are a few I found.

"I wanted to make my strongest ever recommendation for parents to get hold of an electric lice comb instead of chemicals for treating kids' head lice problems.
I recently had a conversation with a school teacher who was complaining about the problems they have with head lice. Sometimes kids are out of school for weeks or months trying to deal with it. She had never heard of my favorite treatment, which seems to be little known in Berkeley. My comb was bought overseas, so I went hunting on the web for her.

This website has all the details you'd ever need on the subject of the Robi Comb - http://www.schoolhealth.com/shop/pe_90273.asp#order. They cost $25.95 online. Many schools and PTAs appear to have bought them for bulk use at schools as well as private use at home. Kids can use them daily without much parent help, and the cost efficiency compared to chemical treatments adds up really quickly. Fiona "

"We had some terrible trouble with my daughter bringing home lice almost daily from school. It went on for months. The cost was huge, the chemicals terrible on her scalp. We tried conditioner to no avail. Finally, we purchased an electric lice comb. It was expensive - about $70- but it killed those critters, and we continue to find it effective 5 years later. It electrocutes them, and the eggs (nits) don't seem to hatch afterwards, if you happen to miss 1 or 2 when you remove them. In addition, changing the sheets and towels and removing the fluffy toys from the child's bed for 3 weeks, placing them in sealed garbage bags, combined with the electric combing solved the problem. Now we use the elecric comb when the warnings come from school, and we haven't had to worry since."

"For the record, I HATE the little bastards with a white hot passion and have made it one of my missions in life to be able to effectively wage war in the most efficient ways possible.

The shampoos have gotten next to useless, especially on the eggs. The best remedy that we have found has been a combination of an electric comb and an ultrafine lice comb (in a dual set of the Rid combs, one is regular and the other is ultrafine) used pretty religiously. I also have an acquaintaince (also a mom in the same district) who flat-irons her quite curly hair straight with good results.

I wouldn't recommend the chemicals in the dye on bitten and otherwise abused scalp, but hey if it works for some folks, I'm not gonna tell you what to do.

If you're in a place where you may be regularly exposed, I would recommend the semi-regular use of tea tree shampoo (it's very drying, so a good conditioner, too) for preventative measure. I would also strongly recommend the purchase of a very fine comb and/or the electric and checking daily. You CAN get rid of them with the use of those two tools, but you have to be diligent and understand their lifecycle.

Take some comfort in that they aren't as bad as bedbugs and please find my email in my profile if you need tips or a peptalk."

I'm thinking from what I've read, It's well worth looking into. I didn't see a single bad review either.

first of all, never use a comd that has been on someone elses head that has lice,the best thing is still the products, dilligent removal of the knits with a fine toothed comb and patience. also wash all bed linnens in boiling water to kill the remaining eggs. I have heard of a doctors office thatthat offers the removal of these pesky critters. it is located in Broward county Florida

Sure this all ordinary. I am a newbie at Judo and Jujutsu, so, I may not faux to be an proficient, however, it sounds ordinary to me. If you've got been doing Judo for a whilst (like two years or extra) there is a little bit of a predicament. But, newcomers, definite, it'll be tough. Judo throws are rather effortless to gain knowledge of. But, perfecting them (the timing, force, vigor, kuzushi, and so forth.) takes a life-time to grasp. So, simply considering that you recognize are doing a throw most often there are plenty of smaller constituents that make up a first-rate throw. You are usually lacking all of the ones smaller portions and simply have the higher piece (some thing that resembles the throw you're making an attempt). It's regularly going be tough to throw a heavier character regardless of if you're a newbie or black belt. If any individual is your measurement or lighter, definite, they're effortless to throw. It's simply that average experience you manage some thing heavy it is regularly more difficult to transport. A auto can be more difficult to transport than a bicycle. So, "Judo Magic," may not produce the paranormal throws who too can throw each person effectively. It will regularly be more difficult employee for a higher man. I feel you simply want extra time. I'm definite there are lots of Judoka who can throw higher opponets. It is all in the main points. I imply I'm proper right here, seeking to throw persons myself on a weekly foundation. I have the notion of approximately part a dozen throws in my arsenal. But, I do not have my timing, kuzushi, strenght, vigor, technical mastery, or it down. With lighter persons I can simply muscle my manner via it and plant them at the floor. But, this is the opposite side of your query, if they're expert and withstand, they're more difficult too. But, it is the equal factor because the higher man, a lighweight expert resister simply takes all the ones smaller constituents of mastery too. It takes time. I see the entire advantage of the numerous Judo throws, takedowns, and sweeps. There is a couple of approach to take anyone down too. Judo has many guns to prefer from as you pass up the ranks too.
