For health and safety reasons, please do some in depth research on this
subject as arsenic was used in taxidermy.

Subject: taxidermy question
Our Land O' Lakes Historical Society's Land O' Lakes NorthernWaters museum
has received a loan of a historic young bobcat mount. It is germain to our
current display, "Guides, Past and Present",but we are concerned about
bringing an old taxidermy mount into our museum. Could bugs or moths be a
problem? Visibly, the mount is in good condition. What should our process
be? Thanks.
