what is it? is it fifty-year old cosmetics? is it the ancient furniture? is it inherent to icons of the virgin mary?

at what point will it happen to me?

Temperature: old folk get cold and don't open the windows.
Food: boiled salted stuff.
Furniture: they decorated during a period of 50s / 60s synthetics, and see no point to change it up.
