Waving a Magic (Mascara) Wand
“Little-known
fact: Using mascara can be good for injured & orphaned animals.
…workers at the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina are using
use
mascara wands to clean & groom small, furry
creatures in need.
The
plastic wands can remove fleas, nits, & other bugs embedded in fur. They
can also
clean the syringes used for feeding animals.
Back in 2017, staff member Savannah
Trantham wrote a Facebook post detailing how
recycled wands can help. The centre has
since received thousands of donations.
‘Because of the incredible response, we are now packaging the wands
& sharing with
other wildlife rehabilitators & facilities,’
Appalachian Wildlife Refuge co-founder
Kimberly Brewster said.”
