A member asked:
How does water become contaminated in neti pots to cause infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variety of ways: If the pot has stagnant water in a humid climate, mold or fungus can grow. If pot has not been properly sterilized, bacteria can emerge from users, especially if shared. Suggest you go online and follow precautions carefully, as can be a very useful tool with diligence.
