VA SOS Virtual Training Session

 

Before we go out in the stream, I want to go over 2 more things with you: safety and the critters.

Always remember to wash your hands after getting into any stream. The VA SOS method can not detect bacteriological pollution.

Glass may be hidden in the bottom of the stream - watch out for it!

If you do get a cut or scrape while in the stream, use peroxide to clean the wound. Again, bacteriological pollution...

Always sample in pairs!
