Hi Burt,

Some cysts used to come with a bag of dessicant in the can. No more. I 
think this is because they found an optimum storage humitity that is 
well above zero percent. Until the experts advise otherwise, I do not 
use them.

Of course, they would do nothing to prevent the damage caused by 
exposing cold eggs to humid air. That is an almost instant process that 
no dessicant can possibly prevent.
