Thanks for your comments and sharing of your experiences... Head Lice is a big problem in the US as well and there are at least a couple of professional head lice removal services in each big city. In fact NY has 4 of them! Basically, the over the counter products have become ineffective and parents don't have the time and or the patience to do the combing to get rid of all the nits.
So, most of the head lice removal services do quite well. I have one in NY with a part-time staff of 8 nipickers. You may check out the website licesolutions.org (under 'go local') to see the listings of all the websites in different cities in the US that provide head lice removal service. Apparently, it is a big business in Canada too.
Well, I am going to be Bali on vacation and not to make money from nitpicking. But, I certainly would not mind helping tourists in need of nitpicking for free.
Merry Christmas!
