 'Dry air' device kills head lice |
 |
 
 |  | A hairdryer-like device can rid children of head lice by exterminating the eggs and lice, work shows.
Test results published in Pediatrics journal show one 30-minute treatment with the device is enough to eradicate infestations by drying the invaders.
The LouseBuster is being developed commercially by a University of Utah spin-off company Larada Sciences.
Patents are pending but the developers hope their non-chemical product will be on the market within two years. |

I've had friends that claimed to get rid of them with vinegar.
