Sue, Dr. Joe's accepted method of sterilizing seems to too good to be true. Our fellow nebulizers seem to be trained and or guided through so many steps to squish every bug (bacteria) into oblivion. Now we're told, just wash and rinse it off and stick it in a sterilizer. Those "old" habits might be hard to break but I'm willing to try. Any others planning on stepping away from their gold standard methods of sterilizing? Would love to hear.

I’m in the wash in water that’s just boiled, rinse in boiling water, and then sterilize camp. (I had my water heater increased to 140 so it shouldn’t be a source.) I am even less diligent than most and use the sterilizer bags 2x/day most days, but wash with Dawn and boil the equipment 10” 2x/week. I don’t have MAC. I keep changing my cleaning and am likely to change again.
I don’t recommend this for others, but for my current situation with no infection, it seems a reasonable trade off considering risk and time.
