RE: sickness & reeds

From an hygienical point of view:
Reeds are like toothbrushes. The same rules:

Clean them after use under running water and
remove every dirt (with your toothbrush)
Clean your mouhtpiece under running water.
Let your reed dry completely before the next use
(at least 24 hours, if possible 48 hours)

Some germs are very resistent.
(staphylococcus -, streptococcus - , candidas - )
It's almost impossible to kill those little beasts.

So in case of sickness caused by infections of these types:
Throw your used reeds away.
Only use one reed.
Throw that one away when you feel better.
Throw the next one away when you are healthy again.

I'm open for better recommendations.
