A wonder I beheld on the ocean one day – beautiful!

Though it is known that the common salt is a good preservative, only leather technologists and scientists seem to know the reason.

The raw skin, when dried, loses its moisture and is no more the breeding grounds of bacteria and fungi. Therefore, here solar energy is used as a preservative too.

Common salt has been used to preserve skin for ages, since time immemorial.

The putrefaction of the skins and hides can be stopped or slowed down by the use of right types of preservatives. Preservatives either kill the microbes or force them to change to inactive spores, which they will remain until the conditions favours again.

Once the animal is not alive, the skin or hide starts to putrefy, thanks to the bacteria, fungus, algae and other microbial organisms feasting on the protein rich diet served to them.

Water is vital for our survival. We cannot live without it.

I am but a bit of algae on the ocean of life.

Honeymoon horror story.
