[Histonet] Odor of old paraffin blocks

[Pam Bakken]

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this question.  I've been in our block/slide storage room organizing blocks from the early 80's and every drawer smells like ripe bananas.  I've thought about someone leaving a banana or peel hidden in the room, but would imagine by now any odor would be gone, and honestly...it's kinda a scary room so I'm not looking much past the blocks and slides.  Our blocks are not sealed and I'm at a lost for what could be causing the odor.
 
Thanks,
