Age (big factor), some humidity and warm temperatures will do that.
Respiratory physiologists (what I do to pay for my reeds) LOVE tubing. We
hoard it, for no other reason than we are sure we will use it really soon.
When I did my graduate work, we had huge rolls of the stuff hidden above the
acoustical tiling in the lab. Much of the surgical latex tubing was long
past its usefulness -the stuff was either sticky (no lumen since the sides
were stuck together) or so brittle it cracked when you tried to cut it.

(who _still_ believes that all it takes to conquer the world is masking tape
and several hundred feet of surgical tubing of a dozen different diameters
and thicknesses).
