	OMG - as a LSA I got them - and passed them on! One girl wore a jacket with rabbit fur around the hood - I swear the little bl^^ders lived in that - she always had them!! we always conditined and combed our hair - bit it didn't work. Pyclear our Pyrethrom (or something like that) was what we had to use and my eldest had very long hair - she choked on the smell. (hair was in a french plait at school in a vain attempt to dissuade them). Anyway I found this chrysanthemum based stuff. (Lyclear?) Very little smell.
