For preventing fungus in the tropics, I've read people get a cabinet to
house all their photo equipment, leather, binocs, and other fungus-prone
stuff. The cabinet is then heated from the bottom, e.g. with a 100 watt
bulb, to reduce the humidity from the usual tropical 100% & prevent the
fungus from growing.

Laws are the spider's webs which, if anything small falls
into them
they ensnare it, but large things break through and
escape.
--Solon, statesman (c.638-c558 BCE)
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little
temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --
Benjamin Franklin
