Re: Fungus eats CD's-and us if we don't watch out

[Guest guest]

lens fungus is something all photographers probably have heard of. I

had an old german camera I loved that developed lens fungus. It was

very slow growing in NYC for 20 years-but when I lived in Costa Rica

for 3 months, it took over and destroyed the lens. With global warming

and rising sea levels, mold is a growing threat to all of us. In

coastal VA, that I left this year-locals were having trouble keeping

mold off of their porches the summer of 2005-for the first time ever-my

very tidy neighbor said no matter how much she scrubbed-it just grew

right back. This past summer and fall were the worst so far. One of the

safe houses I stayed in before I left-the man was a contractor who did

mold remediation and had built safe houses for NASA-he had done

everything right to keep his house from molding-it became over run with

mold this fall. I really believe that people in this group who live

near the water-or in very humid areas of the south east should consider

moving-go see the AL GORE movie " An Inconvienent Truth " if you are not

convinced of the fast pace of global warming and rising sea levels.
