HeadLiceHotline is an informal group of volunteers who have already been through the nightmare of dealing with head lice.
We know what it's like to have bugs crawling in our hair and in our children's hair. We've washed loads and loads of laundry. We've vacuumed couches and chairs and carpets and cars.
We've picked nits until 2:00 am and felt like we were going to collapse from exhaustion.
Give us a call. We'll do the best we can to help you through this very difficult situation known as head lice infestation.

http://www.dfee.gov.uk/a-z/HEAD%5FLICE.html
Head lice are tiny wingless insects which only live on the human head, and can only be passed on by direct head to head contact. Clean hair is no protection, although regular (weekly) hair washing and combing sessions offer a good opportunity to detect head lice and arrange treatment if discovered. Parents have the prime responsibility for checking their children’s heads and carrying out treatment.
