Beating the bane of every parent
Head lice are a perennial problem in schools across Europe, with some classes suffering multiple outbreaks in a single school year. A single louse can lay dozens of eggs, called nits, at the rate of three a day.
The problem is so great that October 31 has been designated National Bug Busting Day. Woman's Hour explore the tips and tricks to beat the bane of every parent.
If you would like more information you can call our Action Line on 0800 044 044.
