Hi Lactnetters!

Just did a study research on sterilization methods of pumps and HIV,
hepatitis and all...

It seems that the hepatitis B virus is the most resiliant. It is destroyed
by autoclaving, gaz and by many hours of soaking in a solution of
hydrochloryte. The only problem with the hydrochloryte is that it has to be
extremely well rinced and even then...if any is left on the part and goes
into the milk...Well why don't we stink with autoclave and gaz, huh? What do
you think?
