MORRISVILLE, N.C., May 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a parent's
nightmare that is all too common among those with school-age
children. The notice comes home from the school nurse about an
outbreak of head lice, and your child is at risk. Head lice
are increasingly becoming resistant to traditional synthetic
pesticide-based treatments and rapidly becoming an epidemic in many
parts of the United States. Second
only to the common cold, head lice infestation remains the most
frequent health issue facing children ages 3 to 11. No child
is immune to head lice and many parents are turning to expensive,
pesticide-based or prescription options.
There is, however, good news from the life sciences
industry. Breakthroughs in R&D have led to
pesticide-free, homeopathic consumer products that can eradicate
and prevent lice infestation, even among the pesticide-resistant
super lice. TyraTech, Inc., a life sciences company focusing
on nature-derived insect and parasite control products, is helping
parents protect their families against the unpleasant possibility
of today's head lice strains by making its non-toxic Vamousse™
Lice Prevention shampoo and Vamousse™ Lice Treatment
mousse available today to consumers nationwide through
Amazon.com. Both products will be available in the coming weeks on
the drugstore.com™ web store.
Vamousse™ Lice Prevention shampoo is a pesticide-free,
homeopathic product that prevents lice infestation by breaking the
lice life cycle, killing lice before they can lay eggs. Daily use
for at least two weeks provides effective protection for the entire
family when there is a head lice outbreak at school, or if head
lice is a concern when going to summer camp or a sleepover. Leaving
hair smelling fresh and clean, Vamousse™ shampoo can be safely used
as often as needed by all family members ages 2 and up. Vamousse™
Lice Treatment, which is also available in Walmart, is a natural,
pesticide-free product that immediately eradicates active
infestations, including previously resistant strains, by killing
100% of head lice and eggs within 15 minutes of application.
"Vamousse™ is the first line of defense to win the war against
head lice," said Bruno Jactel, Chief Executive Officer of
TyraTech. "This next generation of products harness safe
natural materials in the immediate eradication and prevention of
head lice and will help parents stop feeling powerless against this
major epidemic today."
Vamousse™ Lice Prevention shampoo comes in an 8 fluid ounce
(236mL) bottle. Vamousse™ Lice Treatment comes in a 6 fluid
ounce (177mL) canister accompanied by a professional steel comb.
Both are competitively priced with other lice treatments
products. For further product information, visit
