	Most medications and vitamins lose their potency when exposed to heat
and humidity, which means that probably the worst place in your house to keep
any kind of pills is, that's right, the bathroom medicine cabinet.
	In the lab, all drugs and antibiotics are kept in sealed dessicators
in the refrigerator. It is not neccessary to go that far.  Any cool dry place
will do, and anyplace cooler or drier than the bathroom will be an improvement.


P.S.	With the impending 1st of September, I promised myself to refrain from
posting until I get a few other projects done: compose some music, finish
some software, and start the 2nd year of Medical School.  So, I'll be back 
on the net in October. (I may still read, but no guarantees.)
