Boston’s Premier Lice Removal Treatment Professionals Since 2004

History

Established in 2004.

Founded by 3 Moms with daughters, and School Nurse Berit Pratt RN BSN MPH. Our kids got lice in 3^rd grade and, after the recommended treatments didn’t work, we knew there had to be a better way. Head Lice creates a huge stress for Moms and we invented the term «MLS» or «Mom Lice Stress». Head Lice are misunderstood, harmless human parasites and there is still a very strong social stigma associated with Head Lice in the USA. This adds to Mom Lice Stress. All of our parents have also had «Delusional Parasitosis». Your whole body itches, even if you don’t have Lice. Over 11 years we have developed a very effective lice removal technique that removes both the bugs and the eggs and prevents them from coming back. We have seen families from all over New England, We’ve learned that head lice are not in your house, bed, car, couch, clothing or hats. So you can stop vacuuming, doing laundry, & bagging stuffed animals. We focus your valuable time on removing lice and nits from your scalp.

Business Owner

Berit Pratt RN BSN MPH received her Masters in Public Health studying Pesticides and Childhood Cancers from BU School of Public Health. As a school nurse, Berit observed that the chemical pesticides used for Head Lice were no longer effective. NitWits Clients had used Rid, Nix, or even the prescription treatments Lindane, & Malathion, and still had robust cases of Lice. Voted «Best of Boston» and backed up by 12 years of research we have developed an effective, proven Head Lice treatment, without chemicals. Our award winning DVD explains the social, political, military, and natural history of Head Lice, deconstructing the extraordinary social stigma about Head Lice. Our education program gives parents the proper knowledge and tools to effectively and safely manage Head Lice in their communities. We will come and present our head lice management best practices findings to your PTO group free of charge.
