Preserving flesh in a jar?

Question

I'm having some flesh removed soon (don't ask XD)
But I'd like to keep it.

I don't have ready access to formaldehyde, and not being able to post it, it might be a few months before I can get hold of some. And I don't want it going rotten and icky.

What easier to get hold of chemicals/liquids can I keep my little lump of flesh in until then??

I'm sorry I had no idea where to post this question either

In the absence of formaldehyde solution, the best alternative would be 70% alcohol. "Rubbing alcohol" from the pharmacy, used full strength, will do.  However, the surgeon will have to send the specimen to pathology for analysis.  Surgical specimens are not given to patients, except teeth or sometimes gallstones.

salt or vinegar or alcohol or sugar are all preservatives. I'd use salt. Lots of salt.

Search on google for "preserve meat" for lots of advice.

You can try freezing it until you can preserve it the way you want to. Weird question.
