Michael Mosley from 'Infested' visits a delousing salon in London to collect live head lice. Delousing uses a vacuum cleaner with a specialised attachment to collect the ten to twenty lice that an infected person typically has. Michael Mosley infects himself and visits the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Here he looks at the lice sucking his blood using a handheld microscope. The speed of the lice moving over his arms is amazing. Close up footage is enough to make you itch! An infestation of body lice is then seen under the microscope. The co-evolution of these organisms with humans is described.
