Head lice cannot jump; they climb. Therefore, transmission occurs exclusively through the contact of heads or hair. For many children, this means undergoing the unpleasant procedure of using chemical treatments or the painful combing out with a simple lice comb. The electric lice comb LC 860 provides relief and gently frees the hair from head lice and nits by killing them upon contact with the comb through an electric impulse. It is also suitable for use on dogs and cats. When in contact with the prongs of the comb, the lice are killed by an electric impulse. Simple combing removes hair lice and their nits. There are no side effects, as no chemical agents are used.
