Yeah, I've been told that too. And if anyone believes there's no
bacteria or virii coming along for the ride out the spit valve....
well, I might have a bridge to sell you.

I'm interested in other peoples' experiences as well - one of my
colleagues also suggested a "bodily fluid" cleanup response is called
for.... (Which would be great, if custodial ever touched our stage,
but alas.....  Besides, are they around each and every time there's an
impromptu brass ensemble deciding to use my stage as a practice room
because it's the only space available?)

>From what I hear, our custodial only mops the band rooms once a month
anyway....    ugh.
