American scientists at University of Connecticut Health Center and University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler documented the case of a 35-year-old with "trombone player's lung." He had a nonproductive cough for 15 years with no other medical explanation.

 

When he stopped playing for two weeks, the symptoms lifted. Later, his instrument was found to be contaminated with fungal and elements and bacteria.

The first thing I do every year when I get a new school owned mello/concert horn is snake it out with some soap and then dump rubbing alcohol through it....its disgusting. There is an accumulation of YEARS of OTHER students food particles from after lunch and snacks on top of the normal gunk. This doesn't surprise me one bit. haha.
