Don’t Get Moldy
An aunt of mine is quite a pack rat. In fact, every spring, her basement floods, and she panics over what treasures have been ruined. She will not listen or read anything I present to her about properly preserving antiques or clothes. Over the years, most of the antiques have been damaged beyond repair and kitschy avocado shaped ceramic lamps remain. Every year, family dons their rubber boots and tries to shovel whatever they can out of the basement.
I am abundantly aware that as collectors, as antique dealers, as treasure seekers that sometimes we undertake unecessary health risks to “save a treasure.” I suffered an infection once myself breathing in mold from an attempt to save a box of 1940s hats. I was in denial for awhile about what it was caused by.
Recently, a friend reported that they actually got a nail infection from trying to fish out a few things that he was hoping were not water damaged. He actually was able to get rid of it with some Mycozil. Treating Nail Fungus without Drugs is important to me because of my multi-allergic life. Also, I don’t like to have ointment and other junk all over my hands because it might ruin something I touch. This one was actually more of a supplement, contains organic ingredients, and worked from the inside out.
Hopefully, I will stay away from situations where I would create that situation for myself. Just in case, with the way I tend to be the one to pick up every illness, I think I will plan ahead and stock it just in case myself or someone way greedier than me gets any ideas about “saving the antiques.”
