I don't quite get it. Healthy eggs have essentially an "immune system", and will not grow mold (at least not in anything near proper incubation conditions). An egg that is growing mold is dead, and will not benifit from any type of antifungal. Also, a moldy egg will not normally "corrupt" its neighbors (I say normally, because I have never seen it happen ...Some people are of the opinion that they can occasionally kill a good egg). So...I guess I just don't see a point to using any type of antifungal......I've been doing this for a while, and simply have never seen the need. Can somebody explain why I'm wrong?
