Treating Lice

Lice are wingless insects and are recognized as human disease agents. They feed on skin debris, feather parts, blood, and even on glands found in mammals’ skin. Human beings are infested by three kinds of lice: head lice (obviously the most common), body lice (found in clothes), and pubic lice.

Lice make one extremely uncomfortable. Although they are difficult to remove, it is possible to control and get rid of lice.

QUITNITS: Quitnits is an organic hair lice treatment product safe to use on adults and children. Quitnits was created by Leanne Preston, a mother of three, who didn’t want to resort to harmful toxic chemicals when her daughter came home with lice. Instead, she developed quitnits natural lice treatment, which uses a combination of essential oils from the Australian outback that kills not only lice, but also rids the head of the infestation of nits and lice eggs. As a head lice treatment option, Quitnits is:

• Made with certified natural active ingredients originating in the Australian outback
• Non-toxic; no chemical pesticides
• Low allergy formula
• No combing of hair required
