All of the above information is correct, but above all VENTILATE effectively and continuously, exercise as noted above, and do not store near uncontaminated film. FWIW, in my own experience with VS I haven't noticed a major problem with color fading (perhaps you're noticing that color fading and VS coincidentally occur in older acetate film). Most of the effect of VS will be in the form of cupping, ribboning, and shrinkage which will ultimately render it unusable, or at the least will drive you crazy with focus problems. Film-Guard may help in cleaning off the acidic product and certainly hides the smell, but if it has reached the autocatalytic stage nothing will really stop it despite rampant claims from the new producer of VitaFilm to the contrary.
