Nov 02, 2006 - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - University of Utah researcher, DALE CLAYTON, has created a hairdryer-like device to kill lice, as opposed to the traditional shampoo treatment. Grad students, MATT JACOBSEN and JENNIFER HUTCHENS demonstrate how it lifts the hair, blows warm air and rids the head of lice. The head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) is an obligate, ectoparasitic, wingless insect spending its entire life on human scalp and feeding exclusively on human blood. Humans are the only known host of this parasite. Humans can also be infested with the pubic or crab louse (Pthirus pubis) and/or with the body louse (Pediculus humanus humanus). Lice infestation is known as pediculosis.
