Abstract

Bug Busting is a method of clearing head lice by the tutored use of a fine‐toothed plastic comb in association with ordinary shampoo and conditioner. It is becoming recognized as a viable alternative to pesticidal treatments at a time when their efficacy and safety are in question. Discusses the importance of providing parents with adequate instruction in the method and co‐ordinating their informed efforts on Bug Busting Days (31 October and 31 January). Describes the results of monitoring whole‐school participation.
