Verminous Conditions.—The procedure adopted to combat
infestation by lice and general verminous conditions is essentially
the same.
In addition to the notified cases of Scabies, all suspected cases
are followed up and the homes visited by the Lady Public Health
Inspector who gives advice and instruction concerning treatment.

Disinfection.—The disinfection of rooms is effected by the
formaldehyde spray. This is carried out on removal of the infectious
case or termination of the illness, and, on request, for conditions
other than notifiable. In cases of request a charge is made according
to the circumstances of the case. Bedding and wearing apparel
can be removed to the Disinfecting Station, Tunnel Avenue, where
they can be submitted to steam disinfection. Books may be
treated with formalin.
