Now that you guy's have something new to play with let's be sure we take some precautions so that we don't wind up sick.
My normal routine is to wash them off under the kitchen faucet and then I lay em on a paper towel and let them dry overnight.
Your mouth is "full" of nasty bacteria that can really make you sick if your not careful and the one thing that bacteria loves is a wet environment. A mouthcall that is used and just stuck back in a case wet is asking for trouble. Rinsing them off will wash quite a bit of the bacteria away and then allowing it to dry will help with the rest of it. If you're sick be sure to soak your call's in a medium like Scope or Listerine. I've actually used a weak bleach solution in the past. But even with them I always soak for about 15 min. , then wash under faucet and let em dry out. I don't bother with separating the reeds either. They will break loose in less than a min. when you run em in the morning which gives you a chance to do a little warming up enroute to your hunting grounds. This is a serious matter because your call's can and will make you sick. Take care of them.
