Other Interesting Points - In the 1920s the Sacker's (a Family of Barbers) developed a fine toothed metal comb (as for sale) capable or removing the egg & shells of head lice. However, it required a practised worker to perform the process effectively and fairly painlessly. Nurses in Schools continued to use the tool even after the introduction of insecticidal shampoos and lotions, to distinguish treated from untreated heads; School Nurses have carried out head inspections in Schools since 1890........I am sure we all remember so fondly the visits from Nitty Nora the Bug Explorer.....
