Greetings from New Zealand and thank you Judith for raising
the question of how to safely handle pills, potions, old anaesthetic
stuffs.
I believe the Australian Medical Museums group are addressing this topic,
but my copy hasn't arrived yet. I would be keen to learn what is best practice
elsewhere.
I have inherited a number of bottles and jars, but as yet, have not
accessioned them - I'm just giving them a wide berth.
