SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELIMINATING LICE AND NITS

摘要

A heated air system may include a heater/blower device, hose, and nozzle for blowing and heating air. The nozzle may be adapted and shaped for treatment of an ectoparasite infestation on an animal or person. Methods of treatment of an ectoparasite infestation may include applying a product to the hair to kill or slow hatched ectoparasites, combing out all the hatched ectoparasites, and heating air and applying heated air to a portion of the animal or person's body being treated to dehydrate any eggs and/or ectoparasites on the body.

1. A method of treating a person comprising:
applying a topical product to hair of an animal or person to kill or slow down any hatched ectoparasites on the head; dividing hair of a person into multiple isolated sections; combing a first isolated section of hair of the multiple isolated sections with a comb until all hatched ectoparasites are removed from the first isolated section of hair; applying heated air through a nozzle of a heated air system to the first isolated section of hair at a temperature and air flow sufficient to dehydrate any eggs in the first isolated section; and picking though the first isolated section in very thin subsections of hair doing a visual check for any remaining eggs and, if found, pulling the remaining eggs off the hair.
