Item Special Note

Head Lice creates a huge stress for School Nurses and Moms due to the confusion about effective treatment required for eradication.  NitWits: was Founded in 2004 by School Nurse Berit Pratt RN BSN MPH to help School Nurses and Families better manage head lice in their communities.  We invented the terms "NLS" (or "Nurse Lice Stress") and  "MLS" (or "Mom Lice Stress"). Head Lice are misunderstood, harmless human parasites and there is still a very strong social stigma associated with Head Lice in the USA. This adds to both "Nurse Lice Stress" and "Mom Lice Stress".  All of our parents have also had "Delusional Parasitosis"  (Your whole body itches, even if you don't have Lice).  Over 9 years we have developed our specialized head lice removal technique, that removes both the insects and the eggs, and prevents them from coming back.  We have seen families from all over New England,  We've learned that head lice are not viable in carpets, beds, cars, couches, clothing or hats.  So you can stop vacuuming, doing laundry, & bagging stuffed animals.  We focus your valuable time on removing the eggs and bugs from your child's head, and educating you about this common, but annoying, parasite.

Berit Pratt RN BSN MPH received a  Masters in Public Health researching Pesticides and Cancer.  We now know that the chemical pesticides used for Head Lice are not longer effective, and possibly toxic.  Our focus on Education give you the social, political, military, and natural history of Head Lice.  We explain where the extraordinary social stigma about Head Lice comes from. Through our educational program, school nurses and parents, now have access to accurate knowledge, and proper tools, to effectively and safely manage Head Lice in our communities.

Berit Pratt RN BSN MPH is available to PTO, and school nurse, groups to present her most recent findings and techniques in effective head lice treatment and management.
