Nate’s Answer

It really depends on the project you are in, the research areas, and maybe the animal you are researching. I once volunteered fulltime as a marine turtle research assistant for a couple of months in a village in Malaysia. I was never in danger, and the only thing that happened was me getting a flipper-full of sand in my face from a nesting turtle when I was measuring it. If i were you, I would research the area that you are going to and just be prepared for any emergencies.

Hi Gabriela!

I worked on a farm for years working primarily with horses, pigs and cattle. I cannot remember ever getting hurt. With that said, you really have to be intentional about safety.

I have seen more than one news interview where the interviewee receives minor injuries. It typically involves cats.

Hope this helps!
Mark
