Huge white stain on varnish

I just came back from a tour and during some of the concerts I sweated quite a lot. I always have a piece of cloth (see second picture) between my chest and the cello to try to avoid too much damage. I’m planning on bringing it to the violin maker but I was wondering how bad the damage is, why is there a white stain like that and how to avoid it in the future?

Lazy meal that’s very slightly more elaborate than tofu straight from the package

Soy curls, instant noods, frozen veggies and black mushrooms.
No shades to tofu from the package, I love it.

Tofu salad?

So my grandpa makes this chicken salad sometimes and now since I’m not consuming meat anymore I thought I could try to replicate it. I tore a tofu block and added lemon juice, olive oil, a spoonful of vegan pesto, garlic powder, black pepper.

Sticky tofu

I dump a torn block of tofu in cornstarch and baked it in the oven until crispy while I was making a sauce with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cayenne pepper, black pepper and maple syrup

Tofu, corn and yogurt sauce for lunch

Some boiled corn, pan fried tofu with salt and pepper until crispy and a dipping sauce with soy yogurt, garlic, dried dill and olive and pepper, also wanted to show off the pretty garlic grating plate I just got and use for the sauce hehe. I made too much dipping sauce but it’s good enough by the spoonful hahaha

Opened canned asparagus, ate a few before noticing something was wrong

So today I bought canned green asparagus, opened it and the lid did noise as it opened, just like *any normal can would*. I ate a few (they looked fine and tasted okay, though it was my first time eating canned asparagus instead of fresh ones). Then I took one out the can and it looked quite funny, with the little whites dots on it. I checked the lid too and was quite surprised to see moldy looking stains. Anyways, I’m pretty sure I have to throw it away, but I just was wondering what I risk from eating them, and if I should remove them from my stomach.
