I accidentally got splatters of blood and alcohol on my 3 week old 7D today. Spent over an hour cleaning it. Don't ask how it happened. Luckily it was my blood, because I don't want anyone else's blood on my camera.
Your stories?

Still a clickin and looking good Alexander R.O.

Dried it right and it works fine to this day! Jason

The sad bit was that at 3AM, in my sleep-deprived mentally-deficient state, I decided to set up my 50D + 28-135mm in the pouring rain on a tripod to see if it was weatherproof.

oldvultureface Goldmember ![]() More info | I thought the LCD screen on my 50D had become badly scratched in my camera case. I ordered and received a replacement window and before replacing the screen cover I figured "what the heck" and started scraping on the window aggressively with my fingernail (I had tried to clean it gently earlier with a microfiber cloth). Whatever it was slowly and with great effort came off. I finally used Simple Green and a toothpick to scrape the residue from both the 50D and XSi. I think it was dried seagull saliva and/or droppings (couldn't tell) as I had been shooting BIF by Lake Michigan.
