Method and device for low temperature eradication or removal of ectoparasites

A device for removal of ectoparasites comprising:

• a removable component for receiving a volume of cooled air,
• the removable component having a sleeve and a replaceable portion,
• the sleeve having an upper portion and a lower portion,
• the replaceable portion having a body,
• the body having one or more flanges extending away from the body,
• the one or more flanges defining one or more apertures, and
• two or more tines extending away from the body,
• the sleeve holding a hose and the replaceable portion such that the hose and the replaceable portion do not move relative to each other during operation of the removable component,
• the sleeve being deformable to accommodate the hose and the replaceable portion,
• the removable component being removable from the hose after the operation,
• the body of the replaceable portion having a cavity open to the one or more apertures sufficient to accommodate the volume of cooled air whereby the volume of cooled air moves through the cavity and the one or more apertures,
• the one or more flanges having a sufficient size and orientation to direct the volume of cooled air from the cavity through the one or more apertures to hair,
• the two or more tines extending away from the body adjacent the one or more flanges such that the two or more tines direct or organize the hair in order to facilitate the application of the volume of cooled air to the hair.
