Stored in fix, so refrigeration isn't strictly necessary, but out of convention, anything in fix is in a fridge of some sort. Kids of a certain age get to hold

Stored in fix, so refrigeration isn't strictly necessary, but out of convention, anything in fix is in a fridge of some sort.
Kids of a certain age get to hold them directly in gloved hands. The place has to have some ventilation, as again, the fixative doesn't smell the best and is also bad for the skin.
Thanks for the questions!
- boppo1 3y agoThanks for the answers! What is 'fix'? Chemical preservative?
- Balgair 3y agoPrimarily formaldehyde, but there are a few other things in the modern products that I can't remember. It goes into tissues and creates networks that essentially freeze membranes in place. It kills nearly everything and preserves large anatomical structure.
