Re: [Harp-L] Strep Throat and harps

[Mark <cahebayx@xxxxxxx>]

more then  likely the staph is living in your harps from the first exposure
 and your re-infecting yourself over and over. should have them put through an autoclave 
or buy new, toss them and sterilize the case or get another.
anyone in your band with strep, they could be sneaking your harps when not around playing them. 

 this is nothing to play around with, it can be deadly.


I have had strep thraot three straight times the last month and have been
being treated with anti-biotics.

I play my harps often. I play in four bands. Can bacteria living in the
harps be causing this? I'm not about to give up playing, just wondering if
this could be a contributing factor. I do keep them closed and latched in
the black Hohner plastic box

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this.

Thanks,
