Re: [Harp-L] Re: Termite fumigation and harmonicas

[Tom Ball <havaball@xxxxxxx>]

Just went through this last year. The fumigators recommended removing 
all foostuffs, spices, medicines, toothpaste, shampoo, and anything 
that comes into contact with the skin or mouth (chapstick, lotions, 
soaps -- basically your whole medicine cabinet, kitchen cabinets, 
fridge and freezer.) YES this includes all harps, mics, horns, flutes 
-- anything that could later touch the mouth. Even guitars, if you 
want to be 100%+ safe.

The alternative, they said, would be to double-bag everything in two 
sealed plastic bags -- but personally I don't trust all plastic bags 
to be 100% airtight, so I moved it all out. Happy I did.
