Amy,



I relize that. But for a long time those were the instructions for cleaning pari nebs (I'm not even sure they have changed.) You only had to boil them once a week. The important thing, they alwasy stressed, was just to make sure it was dry (after it had been washed w/ soap and water).

</end quote></div>

PARI's website still says that. PARI doesn't just make nebs for CFers. They make nebs for other patients where bacteria isnt' such an issue.

That's why it's important to follow the CFF's instructions on cleaning nebs instead of PARI's.
