We've been having sporadic issues of worm contaminates found in certain 
specimens.  We've narrowed the culprit, I think at least, to be the biopsy bags 
(t-bags) we use for our cell blocks or to filter specimens.  Has anyone else 
had issues like this?  And/or any suggestions as to what else it could be?  
I've had the embedding centers cleaned, gotten a new batch of biopsy bags, and 
have made sure the biopsy bags are kept in their original container and/or kept 
closed (and the container used cleaned) - but it still happened (about a month 
later, but happened nonetheless).
