Re: Does the cold virus live on in reeds?

I don't think viruses can survive outside the human body for too long, and there's no living tissue on reeds for them to attack.

I don't think you can get reinfected with the same cold as you had before as your immune system would have seen to that, so any subsequent colds are new viruses.

But give your reeds a soak in hydrogen peroxide and then rinse them which should sterilise them.
