Tin whiskers...

Dave G.
If you watch the NASA videos, you will notice that the whiskers move, flex
and break very easily under slight air movements, subsequently the chosen
removal method was very simple .

I would suspect that a regular cleaning regime, using a can of compressed
air in one hand and a small vacuum cleaner (a la keyboard cleaner type) in
the other, should keep the "infestation" down.

Due to my local environment, a lot of airborne fine silica dust and cat dander,
cleaning my electronic appliances using the above method is a regular
occurrence.
