Seriously, this report was interesting but is scientifically garbage. There is just enough information to scare you, but nothing that is really helpful. "If you feel sick and play a wind instrument, be scared!"

What was missing was how to clean your instrument and how often it should be done. What types of instruments are most susceptible? Who is most likely to become ill as a result of this?

Mold and bacteria are EVERYWHERE. I am not saying that this fellow isn't sick, but I don't think it is right for the news to drum up fear without any other helpful information.
