Subj: [kl] strep throat and the clarinet

Kenneth Chin asked about cleaning the mouthpiece and
reeds, as possible sources for recurring strep throat.
Many people soak their reeds in hydrogen peroxide
solution to "revive" them when they become less
lively. That, and subsequent drying out, should handle
killing any lurking bugs. Maybe the same thing for the
MP? Make sure both get good and dry - that makes it
harder on the evil bacteria, too!Sandee
