The Head Lice Repelling Unit (HELRU) is a small device using the latest technology to repel head lice from infesting children and adults. It is in the form of a badge of the Unicorn and is pinned to the clothing of the individual…
One class of 28 children from a primary school of approximately 150 children were given HELRU to wear. In addition 9 more of school teachers asked and were given HELRU’s. From the records produced by the school it appears that the head lice were almost totally successfully repelled during the trial.
