As most parents know, getting rid of head lice in a household is both difficult and time consuming.

Local pharmacists are urging parents to screen children for head lice every week when they return to school. Mullingar pharmacists Eamonn Brady from Whelehans Pharmacy and Niall Weir from Weirs Pharmacy advise early detection to reduce the spread of the infection and the scale of outbreaks. There is no way of preventing head lice but the earlier their presence is detected, the easier it is to get rid of them.
