After a flood, patient records become contaminated, sitting in wet, damp, moldy/mildewed conditions. What should you do to retrieve them?

Mold/mildew-contaminated materials pose a real inhalation and skin-contact hazard; appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, respiratory protection, eye protection as needed) should be worn while handling/retrieving them. Decreasing ventilation or increasing temperature would actually worsen mold growth/spread, and simply sealing materials in a bag doesn't address the safe handling needed during the retrieval process itself.
