Thanks guys,
As always on this site, you always get great responses. I think what I'll try is the washing and scrubbing trick. Get them dried out. Nuke 'em. Then put them in the zip lock. I'll keep them separate from my other supplies for a while to make sure they are ok. If they aren't I'll toss them, they didn't cost me anything.
I'm curious about the moth balls. All I know about them is that they have a real foul odor that I would rather not have on my feathers. I know some guys that are always washing their hand to keep any scent off their bugs, adding that terrible moth ball scent seems contradictory. Maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks again
John
