After nearly 15 years in business, Shawnda Walker said the past 12 months has been the busiest year yet for her North York head lice removal company.

“We've seen a significant increase,” Walker, the owner of North York-based Nitwits, told CP24.com this week. “We're up about 24 per cent over our busiest year.”“We're not quite sure what to attribute it to. There has been a lot more travel for sure,” she said.

Those tips include discouraging sharing of personal articles of clothing, keeping hats and scarves in coat sleeves and pockets, and properly spacing out coat hooks and lockers at facilities where children congregate. “People are coming in with more severe cases. We have lice eggs being laid on multiple strands of hair. We're seeing a difference in the lice themselves. It's almost a mutation of the lice over time. They're becoming resistant.”

“Last summer, a lot of the overnight camps didn't do checks. They've gotten into the COVID protocols. There had been barely any lice the year before. So I think a lot of them got out of that or they just had counsellors doing it,” she added. “So we saw a significant rise in lice coming out of overnight camps last year.”
