Just do a bit of research .... Some kinds of branches are unsuitable .

I get my branches from the local woods and soak them in a dilute solution of F10 . We're in the UK so I don't even know if you get F10 in the states ..

Some bake branches in the oven or even wash with bleach and thoroughly rinse afterwards ... Just do a bit of research or even start a thread in here asking for advice ...
