given that bed bugs can be killed with a 120°F treatment, it makes sense that the same might work for lice. posted by MonkeySaltedNuts at 7:13 AM on November 13, 2006

Would parents have to purchase one of these or would they set up an afterschool program for students troubled by pesky parasites? posted by Holy foxy moxie batman! at 9:08 AM on November 13, 2006
I don't think that would work! The nits glue themselves to the hair shaft, and stay there pretty well even after thay're killed. posted by Ambrosia Voyeur at 9:17 AM on November 13, 2006
Ambrosia Voyeur, fine-toothed combs could be used afterward to remove the dead nits. Of course this would work best in children with fine, limp hair; a kid with a lot of thick, curly hair might be out of luck.
What worked best for me was shaving my head. But then I was 24. posted by davy at 9:35 AM on November 13, 2006
In looking at that link I saw no mention of a hot air supply (to kill the lice), but then again I don't read Danish. posted by MonkeySaltedNuts at 9:36 AM on November 13, 2006
Oh. Whatever you do to get lice off the head, you'll still need to do the laundry. posted by davy at 9:37 AM on November 13, 2006
Oh. Whether you have nits/lice on the head, you'll still need to do the laundry. Same applies for fleas. Never forget the laundry. posted by econous at 3:36 PM on November 13, 2006
Oh. Whenever you have lice, bedbugs, or fleas, you'll still need to do the laundry. posted by MonkeySaltedNuts at 6:23 PM on November 13, 2006
