Vintage mouthpiece "care"

Folks,
I don't recall having this issue in the past but I left a mouthpiece out on a shelf by my desk. No sunlight directly hit it but we have fluorescent fixtures at work. It was there for a good 6 months but now I notice it's discolored and the surface feels "tacky". I had a new mouthpiece in one of those plastic rectangle tubes in a mailer envelope and it too is a little tacky.

I don't care so much about the discoloration, but is the tackiness a sign that it's integrity is degrading? Just before I wrote this I did a quick rinse in a bath of dawn and now the tackiness is gone.

... a little sulfur smell.

How you store your equipment safe and sound?
