I'd like to start by pointing out that I spent about five years working in cell biology labs, so I don't know if that makes me more likely to be paranoid, or less. About 18 months ago, I got a deluxe sample rollerball of Marc Jacob's Dot. I tried it for a week, decided it was nice but not wowing me, and stuck the rollerball in a box. About six months ago I pulled it back out, wore it for another week and noticed there were a lot of white specks floating around in it. At the time, I wondered if it was contaminated but didn't really think about it. Back in the box it went. Now, about a month ago, I pulled it out and it had a dozen sesame-seed white fluffy looking colonies at the bottom of the rollerball. I figured it was made cheap because it was a freebie, had been contaminated at the factory, and tossed it. I started used the Flowerbomb rollerball I got from the Sephora Superstars kit last fallish about three weeks ago, and I'm beginning to see visible white specks in this one too. I don't know what to do about it. These will be the only two rollerballs I've ever used, but I'm just putting it on my wrists and neck, which I don't think is too unusual. Everything I've googled seems to be about people who are worried this will happen, not that it's actually happened to. I mean, even if a bacteria got into the perfume and wasn't killed by the alcohol, what is it eating? Thoughts, folks? *Note: I'm posting on BT as well to try and get as many ideas as possible. I don't think this is crossposting, but if it causes trouble, I can probably have the thread deleted easily enough

Okay, so I did a search of BT before I posted, and I guess since I went searching for an answer a month ago, some folks did discuss having rollerballs turn cloudy on them, which is probably the same as my issue. New question - do you guys still use rollerballs once the colonies start being visible?

I personally don't. I don't think there's a way to clean it.
