To answer Snoflake's question about bacteria eventually working their way into a sealed container, it's unlikely. Bacteria (One bacterium, many bacteria.) don't live very long, and if they don't make it in, it's not like a dying bacterium will say to his sons "Carry on the work for me, and remember me."

Thanks for answering my question so specifically, timetraveler. I know the solution inside the package is supposed to be sterile, so in order for it to get contaminated, bacteria would have to get in from the outside.
