Rules
I have to know, how was sanitation handled? did you each student have an individual sample, or were you all licking a communal rock?
Us geology students are bonded by blood. Once we all passed around a fragment of dinosaur bone and all stuck it to our tongue. Pre COVID mind you.
They're licking rocks and you're worried about sanitation?!?
I'd be more worried about sanitization if I'm licking a rock then if I'm not licking a rock, generally speaking.
Individual samples and UV lights, though often there was a rock where multiple people would lick it. People probably don't get sick from that often.
