SUBJECT: Re: Digest Number 2905
There was a horror story floating around just last week about a fellow who played the bagpipes and died from a lung infection traced to bacteria in the bag of his instrument. That stirred a flurry of wind instrument cleanings around here. bob On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 1:22 AM, <MouthpieceWork@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > [image: Yahoo!

Hi Bob, Thanks for forwarding this thread. I am a member of that group and I have skimmed through but I was on vacation all last week so I haven't read it thoroughly. I will look over again. On another note, I invite you to keep an eye on my website as I am redoing it and offer some new products as well. The redo should be ready for public in a couple of weeks.

There is anti bacterial PLA on the market but that works only for two years. I don't know how true that is for mouthpieces.

Posted by: "STEVE GOODSON" saxgourmet Runyon magazine ad from the 1990's......I'm holding "Big Mambo", my 30M......Jody Espina and I were both students of Santy Runyon during this era......check out Jody's outfit.......note dangling saxophone earring.......I used to buy those by the case and present them to young women who had met certain "tests"........the coat I'm wearing in that picture was a very shiny silver satin with a tiny sequin in the middle of each square which looked great under stage lights!.....I'm not real sure about that particular hat, though Reply to sender .

SUBJECT: Health risks of some instruments
This article was mentioned in MedPageToday, which I get. The bagpiper died of a severe lung inflammation due to exposure to molds and fungi present in the instrument bag (not bacteria). Not an infection, rather an out of control inflammation response. The article had links to a similar incidents in a saxophonist (not fatal; posted below) and a trombonist. Barry Levine ----------------------- Chest. 2010 Sep;138(3):724-6. doi: 10.1378/chest.09-2991. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to molds in a saxophone player. Metzger F1, Haccuria A, Reboux G, Nolard N, Dalphin JC, De Vuyst P. 1Department of Respiratory Disease, Jean Minjoz University Hospital, Besançon, France. This 48-year-old patient was evaluated for an interstitial pneumonia. An open-lung biopsy showed a pattern of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. The CT scan appearance, showing mosaic ground-glass opacities in the ventilated parts of the lung, the centrolobular predominance of inflammation on the lung sections, and the presence of a lymphocytic alveolitis at BAL suggested a hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The patient was a white-collar worker and had no contact with pets, birds, drugs, or molds at home. He used to play the saxophone as a hobby. Two molds, Ulocladium botrytis and Phoma sp, were detected in the saxophone. Precipitating antibodies to these molds were present in his serum. An additional study confirmed the frequent colonization of saxophones with potentially pathogenic molds, such as Fusarium sp, Penicillium sp, and Cladosporium sp. Respiratory physicians should be aware of the risk of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in saxophone or perhaps other wind instrument players.

The last time the "horror story" went around it was about a trombone player. By the way, those that admonish posters to trim their posts, I don't have the opportunity to do that. When I reply I get a blank window to type in, with a Send button at the bottom. And after hitting reply it takes a long time for the reply window to come up. Yahoo really screwed up the groups with the changes they made a while back.. Paul C.
