How to Check a Fecal Sample for Parasites

Practical collection of resources

Parasites can be a huge problem in the warm, moist climates and the key to knowing what's going on with parasite load is monitoring through fecal samples:

This video is an excellent resource for detailed information on running fecal samples.

For those who really prefer the Reader's Digest version, this is a written resource that is also excellent.

Hopefully these links will be inspiring and helpful to those considering doing their own fecals. It makes a great homeschool lesson for those that homeschool as well.
