Horrible when one finds these little things… but it can be dealt with and the sooner the better.
Electronic nit comb from Boots or similar - under 20 quid and kills the little buggers in one fell swoop.
Can’t believe that years later they are still not widely available in France!!

Hair conditioner.
I used conditioner with tea tree mixed in when I had them. Aged 37 the one and only time
I looked all over for a nit (fine-toothed) comb in pharmacies, supermarkets, hairdressers, beauticians’ salons in my locality in La Manche with zero success.
Eventually a pharmacist suggested I try the vet.
I once gave evidence in Court as an ‘expert witness’ (in operating theatre practice).
It was in Manchester, away from home, and I got infested in an overnight boarding house.
So I gave sworn evidence with teams of pediculus capitis* running round my collar. But my client won her case for damages.
*Head louse.
Indeed Peter. It’s importent not to douse the kids with alcohol before attacking the lice with an electric combe.
