This was the second survey of the day. For this one I stayed in a much smaller area, and just went back and forth cleaning as much as I could. It was literally everywhere ( I will edit this with a video later). I had plenty of air left and plenty of bag space, but my face was beginning to hurt from wearing the mask so long.

Mask

plastic gloves (food service type)

foil wrappers
