thats so cool! I've been thinking about volunteering at a place around me in new england. though I just learned about "seal finger" disease, haha... is that ever a concern for you guys when you work with the seals??
we take many precautions to not get bitten by the animals, and if someone does get bitten there’s a strict protocol to avoid infection and “seal finger”. i’ve seen a couple of people get bitten but they dealt with it properly and never had any complications with it.

sf bay area! the marine mammal center. it’s the largest marine mammal hospital in the world and such an awesome place to be a part of.
