[Histonet] Hematoxylin Shortage??

[Joe Nocito]

I remember making Mayer's Mucicarmine solution one.  I was heating it on a 
hot plate and wasn't watching it as closely as I should have. The solution 
exploded. The ceiling was a nice magenta color, as well as anything within a 
meter of the hot plate.
