Topsy and Tim come home from school with head lice (‘nits’). Mummy gets some lotion from the chemist to treat their hair but the problem soon re-occurs and the twins are scratching a lot. Another parent steps in to help, explaining that regular treatment with conditioner and a nit comb can prevent the problem.
