This September, the All Out Comb Out has special significance. That's because the National Pediculosis Association is celebrating its silver anniversary. For the past 25 years, the association has kept kids happy and lice free through basic measures of routine screening, early detection and thorough removal of all the lice and nits.

(PRWEB) September 3, 2008 -- A lot can change in 25 years, but the National Pediculosis Association's commitment to protecting children from the misuse and abuse of pesticides has never wavered. Each year NPA's signature outreach, the All Out Comb Out, coincides with its sponsorship of National Head Lice Prevention Month and the back to school season. The National Pediculosis Association's message is timeless, as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

"Our silver anniversary is a great time to look back and celebrate what we've achieved," said Deborah Altschuler of the NPA. "Thanks to our awareness message of early detection and regular checks, we've kept countless kids free from lice and nits and the anxiety that often comes with them."
