RE: Wet tissues storage

I see this as more of a "recapping bottles correctly" issue. The point should be made that you may be exposing yourselves to too much formaldehyde. In my opinion 10%NBF is the best fixative for tissues. You might look into some ventalation for your storage room. Please take care of yourself.
