What's the worst that could happen?

[BrandiR]

I'm too afraid to put that stick anywhere near my mouth. Who knows what diseases its covered with.

Disinfect it with a diluted Bleach solution (or antibacterial hand/dish soap, if you prefer) and rinse well and you should be fine. If you don't disinfect first, you could get....well, something bad.


(is this what we're after? I couldn't think of any non-infraction-inducing ways to put the consequences of putting the stick into your mouth prior to disinfection, and I couldn't find appropriate images either, but overall am I on the right track?)
