Don't let lice ruin summer camp. Use Vamousse Lice Treatment products to defend kids against lice.
MORRISVILLE, N.C., May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As you plan to send your kids to summer camp, being prepared for head lice is as important as packing sunblock, goggles and stationery. Vamousse Lice Treatment products can defend against lice before, during and after kids return home from camp.
Across the country, lice, especially “super lice,” which are resistant to traditional treatments, are a growing concern for parents and camp staff, and many camps have started conducting head checks on registration day. Campers with an infestation may be delayed from starting camp while being treated for lice, or possibly sent home.
“We do head checks when the girls arrive, and we are able to treat lice immediately and prevent lice from spreading,” said Page Lemel, the director of Keystone Camp for Girls in North Carolina. “We are thankful we can treat lice, and do not need to send girls home.”
The good news is there are simple steps parents can take to defend against lice before and after camp.
Conduct a Pre-Camp Head Check.
Here’s how:
Part your child’s hair to examine the scalp under a bright light. Watch for movement. Lice will move quickly away from the light.
Lice eggs (“nits”) may look like dandruff but cannot be flicked off with a fingernail. Eggs will be attached to the hair shaft within ½” of the scalp.
Use a lice comb to work through small sections of hair looking for lice or nits. Pay extra attention to the nape of the neck, behind the ears, under bangs, and the crown of the head.
Treat Any Infestation. If you find an infestation, get your child camp-ready quickly with a product that allows you to end an infestation in a single treatment rather than needing to reapply seven to 10 days later. Pesticide-free Vamousse Lice Treatment kills both lice and eggs in one 15-minute application – even pesticide-resistant super lice.
Keep Lice from Returning Home from Camp. It typically takes four to six weeks for telltale itching to start with a lice infestation. This means a child returning from camp with lice may not be diagnosed until family and friends have already been exposed. Some strategies for reducing the risk of lice coming home:
While kids are away at camp, have them use a daily defense shampoo such as Vamousse Lice Defense, which has been shown in lab studies to kill lice during routine hair washing.
Encourage your child to keep belongings separate – especially hair bands and hats. Encourage your child to pull hair into a ponytail or keep hair up when playing to minimize contact.
Keep the Lice Problem in Perspective
Remember that while lice are an annoyance, they do not carry disease or pose serious health risks. In fact, they are as prevalent among children as the common cold. By using Vamousse products and being prepared for lice at summer camp, you can improve the chances that your children will have great camp memories of fun, friends and fireside songs – not an itchy head and an irritating case of lice.
About Vamousse
Vamousse represents a new generation of head lice solutions available over-the-counter. The unique products give parents an accessible, affordable and effective way to tackle super lice to ensure their child is lice and worry free at summer camp. To learn more visit: http://vamousselice.com/.

IRVINE, California, May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) and the Monterey County Board of Supervisors recently reached a contract agreement for a one-year naming-rights extension for the iconic Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca facility. The current partnership will extend through March 31, 2018, while Mazda works directly with the County on plans for a long-term partner relationship with the track. Mazda will retain a six-month exclusive right-of-first-negotiation to enter into a new or continued exclusive agreement with the County.
“Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is truly our spiritual home,” said Masahiro Moro, president and CEO at MNAO. “We understand the importance that facilities like Mazda Raceway play in sports car racing, which is why we’ve remained dedicated to the facility for so many years. We look forward to working with the Monterey County Board of Supervisors on a long-term agreement that will allow the facility to thrive and remain among the world’s finest race tracks.”
While Mazda has been the primary naming partner of the race track since 2001, this is the first time an agreement has been made between MNAO and the Monterey County Board of Supervisors. Previously, all naming rights agreements have been between Mazda and The Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP).
SCRAMP will continue to manage and execute the Mazda agreement as it has for the past 16 years. In addition, SCRAMP, which has managed the Raceway since its inception in 1957, has an expanded management role, assuming all operations of the Laguna Seca Recreation Area and the associated campgrounds, not including the shooting range.
“Mazda has been an invaluable partner and continues to call Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca its home away from home,” said Gill Campbell, CEO and general manager of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. “There are sponsors, and then there are partners. Mazda falls firmly into the latter category, as they truly appreciate the relationship and invest far more than just money into ensuring this race circuit continues to be one of the world’s finest. We are pleased to have the Mazda team fully engaged with everything we do, now and hopefully into the future.”

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Man up! Quit crying! Don’t be such a sissy! These are the type of behaviors 72 percent of guys have been told make them a real man*. The pressures caused by these rigid notions of manhood result in fear, anger and frustration. Moreover, 59 percent of guys believe they should act strong even if they feel scared, and nearly half think they shouldn’t ask for help with their personal problems*. This internal struggle can contribute to bullying, violence and even suicide. As a champion of self-expression, AXE believes there’s no one way to be a man and is launching The Find Your Magic Initiative to address this important issue.
Building on the brand’s “Find Your Magic” point-of-view that self-expression is key to confidence, this initiative aims to help break the cycle of toxic masculinity by providing guys with resources to live more freely. AXE intends to reach men and women with this message of confidence and individuality to further ignite the growing cultural conversation and create a healthier, more equal world for everyone.
The Find Your Magic Initiative kicks off with a new film as part of its “Is It Ok For Guys?” campaign that highlights the tough questions with which guys privately struggle before turning to Google search for guidance. Questions like “is it ok for guys to be emotional,” “wear pink” or “wear makeup” are examples of real searches that inspire the film. AXE is also collaborating with influencers to address these topics by sharing their own experiences and answering the question #isitokforguys. These personal stories will be told by Hunter Klugkist, William Haynes, Josh Peck, Ryan McNulty, and Wes Armstrong, among others.
AXE has also partnered with three non-profit organizations – Promundo, The Representation Project and Ditch the Label – to dive deeper into the causes and effects of the issue, drive wider awareness among both men and women, and help provide young guys with tools to be their most authentic selves. Respectively, AXE:
Commissioned a study from research experts Promundo to better understand the challenges and pressures young guys face as the result of masculine stereotypes.
Sponsored the “Unmasked” campus tour, enabling The Representation Project to bring screenings of its film “The Mask You Live In” to young men and women across the country.
Worked with Ditch the Label, an anti-bullying organization, to create a new digital network that supports guys struggling with toxic masculinity through a unique online community.
“Last year AXE asked guys to ‘find their magic’ and express what truly makes them an individual,” said Rik Strubel, Global Vice President, AXE. “But we can’t just tell guys to be themselves without addressing the underlying cultural issues and restrictive definitions of manhood holding them back in the first place. It not only hurts guys, it hurts everyone.”
AXE is dedicated to helping you #FindYourMagic. To learn more about the Find Your Magic Initiative, “Is It Ok for Guys?” and AXE partner activities, visit http://axe.com/us/en/is-it-ok-for-guys.html.
