I have the opportunity of picking up some old taxidermist animals from a university dept that's shutting down but I've heard arsenic was often used to preserve the animals and this can be a bit of a health hazard, anyone know anything about the use of arsenic in taxidermy? Has arsenic been replaced with another safer chemical and if so, any ideas when?
