I should mention the device in question does not actually suck nits, it blows nits.

Oh sure dad, I'd love to be used as the example girl with lice in the national media.

given that bed bugs can be killed with a 120^°F treatment, it makes sense that the same might work for lice.

Would parents have to purchase one of these or would they set up an afterschool program for students troubled by pesky parasites?

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.

This was invented and patented in Denmark ages (2003) ago!

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.

#Bravocharlie: This was invented and patented in Denmark ages (2003) ago! 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.

Oh. Whatever you do to get lice off the head, you'll still need to do the laundry.

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.

Damn you, laundry.

It's generally a good idea to do the laundry even if you're not infested with parasites.

Don't be a parasite: do your own laundry.
