Dear Melinda,
I have just been diagnosed with MAC and have been advised by my pulmonologist to start the antibiotic protocol. But neither he or his team mentioned boiling drinking water or using shower filters. How do you navigate that?
I’ve been told that MAC is not infectious but then I read that equipment must be sterilized as to avoid re- exposure to the bacteria; that your toothbrush should not be kept in the same holder as your family’s etc. etc

I got a handout from my doctor at cleveland clinic. Have you looked at NTMinfo.org?
