Scientists are offering parents £20 for their children's head lice.
Researchers are trying to find new ways to treat new super-lice, which are becoming resistant to conventional cures.
Now a team at Bristol University want to collect as many parasites as possible in order to find new treatments.
Some will be studied at the university's veterinary department in Langford, Somerset, while the rest will be sent to researchers in the US.

Prince Charles scratching his head. Could he be a victim of super-lice?
I was so annoyed when Margret Thatcher stopped the 'Nit Nurse'. I knew this was going to bite us in the bum ( the head really) years later. The research will still be a waste of time if we don't have some kind of nit nurse policy.
