-------------------------- Head-Lice
What are the symptoms?
Itching scalp, scratching and even a
rash. You will see the tiny nits (eggs)
closely attached to individual hairs.
The nits are shiny and firmly fixed to
the hairs. Dandruff is flaky and easily
brushed away. If you are in any doubt
you can ask your health visitor, doctor
or the school nurse.
What is the treatment?
Treatment is with special shampoo or
lotion. You can buy this from a chemist
or ask your health visitor or school
nurse. You must follow the instructions
carefully and treat all close contacts.
Comb your hair regularly and check it
frequently for lice or nits.
