IT'S every parent's fear to see their kid scratching at their head frantically when they come from school. <\/p>\n
Looks like that fear has been realised for many since classes started this month, as the number of people seeking NHS advice on head lice has jumped by a third. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Figures released by NHS England, which runs the NHS website, show there were 12,720 weekly visits to the\u00a0health advice page on head lice and nits\u00a0between September 15 to 21. <\/p>\n
This was a 34 per cent increase from the9,524 site visits recorded at the start of the month, September 1 to 7. <\/p>\n
According to NHSE, visits peaked on Monday 18 September. <\/p>\n
There were a whopping 2,196 visits that day \u2013 the equivalent of one click every 39 seconds.<\/p>\n
