Or - for the non-organic - in a sealed container with one of those wardrobe
moth killer thingies or a piece of a fresh pet flea collar (the bit you
always seem to have to trim off if Fido isn't a Rottweiler). That's what
I'm going for. Might even give the camera a 'new' smell!
If you think dust mites, etc. in your camera is scary, I won't even begin
to tell you what lives on your skin, hair, etc. You'll be scratching for
weeks.
