I am writing in response to the article entitled "New twist in class egg box row" (The Argus, June 21).

No bugs can be caught from toilet rolls or egg boxes if they are put in the microwave for about 20 seconds before being used.

My daughter is a teacher and when this concern came up several years ago in her school, they didn't stop using such items but just put a notice in their weekly child-to-parent newsletter asking that parents followed the microwave procedure.
