The National Pediculosis Association, Inc. (NPA) is a non-profit organization based in Newton Highlands, MA. Since 1983, the NPA has been dedicated to protecting children, their families, and the environment from the misuse and abuse of prescription and over-the-counter pesticide treatments for lice and scabies. They provide resources, information, and educational materials for parents, health care professionals, and organizations to safely and effectively screen, detect, and remove head lice and nits. The NPA promotes combing as a safer and more efficient solution, emphasizing the importance of manual removal with their specially designed LiceMeister comb.
The NPA sets high public health standards for the communicability and treatment of head lice, raising awareness about the risks associated with pesticide remedies and advocating for responsible personal behaviors and environmental health. They offer a range of downloadable resources, news and research sections, and frequently asked questions to help parents and health professionals navigate the challenges of head lice infestations. Through the sales of their LiceMeister comb, the NPA funds their mission to provide a higher standard for lice combing tools and promote safe, cost-effective alternatives to pesticides.
