[Nhcoll-l] Mold on specimens (skeletal, taxidermy) and cardboard boxes

[Chris Evelyn]

Hello all,

We have a pretty serious mold issue. Everything in the room has some mold.
The jars and surfaces can be cleaned but a few items are trickier so I'd
love some feedback:

1) Skeletal specimens (will 10% bleach solution work?)
2) taxidermy specimens (will 10% bleach work?)
3) cardboard boxes with small specimens (replace the boxes or just clean
them off?) I

Attached are some images of the current situation.

Thank you for your assistance!

Chris
