Expert Verdict

Wild harvest sourcing: ensure raw material is free of parasites, pesticides, and environmental pollutants. Spanish moss is an epiphyte โ€” bioaccumulation of airborne heavy metals is possible; heavy metal testing (Pb, Cd, Hg, As) recommended per batch. Not confused with *Usnea* (lichen) โ€” different organism entirely despite common name overlap
