The Medicine Chest
Stocking the Medicine Chest for General Parasite Control:

Be aware that there are companies and individuals who are marketing remedies which purport immediate healing
just by dumping it into the pond. The labels will say it will cure just about anything and smell good doing it. Label
claims such as this should make you wary; for good reason. These products generally don't work. Yet they are
packaged and sold in nearly every garden store across this country. Go figure. If you find a product which will do
just about everything, don't count on it.

To start with, a plastic tool box from a big box store will do for keeping all your supplies in one place.

Here's a list which will get you started:

1. Sharp tweezers.

14. Small cups for measuring.
15. Assorted syringes(no needles)for measuring(10-60CC).
