Food and meds storage disastor

[Little Lou]

The meds should be fine too. If they're still in either bottles or those foil 'blister packs', then the damp won't have penetrated.

Damp rice or pasta might be more iffy. Were they in boxes? Are the bottoms of the boxes stained or soft with damp? If so, then discard the lowest layer of rice or pasta that's been in contact with it, but anything 'free-running' will still be fine and just needs repackaging.

While you're waiting for oxy-absorbers, you can try wrapping boxes or bags in aluminium foil. I've kept things dry in a damp garden shed that way, and never had a problem.
