Bring Back the Nit Nurse... Now!!

INCREASINGLY IN OUR SCHOOLS ESPECIALLY PRIMARY SCHOOLS. PUPILS ARE HIT BY INFLUX OF NITS! MY DAUGHTER HAS SUFFERED FOR 4 YRS! I AND OTHER PARENTS ALIKE NATIONALLY SPEND £30 MILLION EVERY YEAR IN THE UK ON VARIOUS TREATMENTS, EACH ONE OF THEM DECLARING THAT "THIS IS THE ONE"

WHICHEVER CHEMISTS I GO TO, I HEAR OVER AND OVER HOW THE SALES OF HEAD LICE LOTIONS ARE THROUGH THE ROUGH!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

IN MY DAY, THERE USED TO BE A NIT NURSE, HARDLY ANYONE IN SCHOOL HAD HEADLICE, AND IF THEY DID THEY WERE SENT HOME THERE AND THEN!

ITS NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY BUT ALSO MENTAL TORTURE FOR US FAMILIES, WHOM MAKE SURE WE TREAT AND TREAT AND RE TREAT OUR CHILDEREN'S HAIR, IN THE VAIN HOPE THAT THIS IS IT!

BUT HOW CAN IT EVER STOP? MAYBE NEVER, BUT THIS COULD BE PUT IN CONTROLL. WHATS THE POINT IN TRYING WHEN FOR EVERY 1 TREATING, THERE ARE PROBABLY 4 FAMILIES, NOT BOTHERING OR NOT EVEN REALISING NITS ARE INFESTED, AND ALSO NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT TO DO.

I CALL ON THE GOVERNMENT, AND THE EDUCATION AUTHORITY, TO WORK HAND IN HAND AND BRING PLANS TO RE-INTRODUCE THE LOVELY NIT NURSE BACK. COUNTLESS FAMILIES I TALK TO, AGREE WITH THIS.

SO JOIN ME PLEASE, I PLEAD YOU, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF FINE COMBING EVERY 3 DAYS. AND BEING PARANOID OF GETTING TOO CLOSE TO MY 8 YR OLD, INCASE I GET HEAD LICE TOO.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT, I FEEL ENRAGED AND PASSIONATE ENOUGH TO SEE THIS THROUGH. IF WE ALL VOICE OUR OPINION, THEN MAYBE, JUST MAYBE WE WILL BE LISTENED TO.

KIND REGARDS
