Or a dead mouse wouldn't surprise me.

My only concern, is I am very allergic to fabric mold, and break out in 
nasty hives.  But it hasn't happened yet, so perhaps that is what it is and 
we have enough "crawl" spaces in this old house.

Possibly what you smelled was a dead/decaying rat. We
had that in our house. Called an exterminator but they
don't do rats. My husband was on the roof and in the
crawl spaces and looking all over but could not find
either where the rat might have entered or where the
body was. The only thing to do, we were told, was wait
and eventually the smell goes away. We put a bucket of
coal in the room, which is supposed to absorb such
odors, and it did help, and stayed out of that room
for a while. Eventually the smell did go away.

We were also told not to put out rat poison, because
the rats eat and and fo somewhere else, like attacks
or into walls, to die. The old-fashioned mouse/rat
trap is the thing to use. We've gone back to that in
the garage, but so far no more rats.

the bookshare list. I hope it's not for anything I've said.)
