Funny you should mention lead crystal. I made a batch a couple of years ago
{still got some left} and it went brown in no time at all whilst in storage.I
also put it down to the lead in the crystal. I won't throw it out though,
comes in handy for the odd emergency situation.
I got one of our daughters to spray some on her tonsils when they developed
white lesions {tonsillitis}, cleared it up next day. I suspect it was
tonsillitis cos I used to get that a couple of times each year when I was
working my trade, left the trade and haven't had it since.
Put it this way, I have never known these lesions to disappear basically
overnight, and it's usually a sure sign of onset of tonsilitis from my
experience of many bouts of it?

I once had a batch go brownish in a plastic container, and not wanting to waste
it, kept it for cleaning, like counter-wipes, etc. If in doubt, just don't use
it on or in your person, that's all. Also, I once decanted my CS into what must
have been a lead-crystal decanter. The CS turned a strong yellow. I threw that
out, fearing that the lead in the crystal would be harmful.L

brown. Brown is something I would be looking further into. That container may
not be suitable? Maybe it's developed more particulate silver?
Probly still good to use, just may be higher in particulate content.
When I go away I just use one of those clear plastic bottles you buy water in.
I put it in the boot of the car, or on the backseat somewhere while travelling.
Not in direct sunlight, but it's still exposed to much more sunlight than it
would be in a cupboard in the kitchen, but it never goes 'brown?'.

Hi, I was wondering if someone can help? About 6 weeks ago I made some CS to
take with me on a trip. I made it with a silver puppy and it was perfectly
clear and seemed potent. I put it in a Rubbermaid plastic water container and
carried it with me. After about 3 weeks on the road it turned a brownish
color. Can anyone tell me why this happened and if it is still good to use?
Thanks. PT
