The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that 6 to 12 million individuals have infestations each year. Lice outbreaks are thought to account for 12-24 million lost school days per year with almost every school district in the country affected.
A search on the term “head lice” on Google will return over 1 million links” said Roland Bydlon, Director of Marketing at ParaPRO. “ParaPRO has created a fictional character Dr. Itchy and a disease awareness web site www.dritchy.com to help health care professionals inform caregivers, parents, and children about head lice in an entertaining but educational way. The web site does not recommend a particular product or therapy. Our goal is that professionals and caregivers will go to Dr. Itchy first for reliable information about head lice and treatment options.”
