!! BLACK MOLD !!

Transcript

My poor baby's squishy literally grew mold after I covered it in wax and then washed it with hot water as you advised me in a previous video. I left it outside in the sun to dry, but instead of drying, it grew black mold. Now I'm scared to even touch it. Let alone keep playing with it. I'm so sad because I wanted to test something new. For example, instead of doing 10 layers of wax like I did in my last video, I was going to try just three or four layers to see if it made an even louder crunch. But I guess now I will have to find some new squishies. Black mold can be dangerous, so I'm not even going to try and clean it off. I'm going straight in the trash. And what would you do if this happens to yours? Let me know in the comments. My sweet heart.
