Cross Contamination

jim@wacey.net () — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:07:15 GMT

None of us want to see the waters contaminated with disease of any kind, so precautions have to be taken by us all.

The DEFRA leaflet "Keep Fish Disease Out" highlights the importance of this and suggests suitable methods of disinfecting your tackle and clothing.

There are several disinfecting methods available, two commonly used methods are:

Thoroughly drying equipment for a minimum of 48 hours, preferably in direct sunlight
Chemical disinfectants (primarily iodine-based solutions (Iodophors)
or Virkon S

Equipment should be keened of all mud debris from your trip, it should be then immersed or sprayed with the chosen disinfectant for 10 to 15 minutes at least, the disinfectant should then be rinsed of in clean water.

Types

Iodophors

This includes products such as Losan CCT, Deosan Iodophor Udderwash and FAM30
When active Iodophors are dark brown in colour solution, however they become colourless when inactive by prolonged exposure to light

Virkon S

This is available in both powder and tablet form, it should be made up to a 1% solution with water to form a pink solution

The solution will stay active for around 5 days, the solution must be kept out of direct sunlight.
