One thing I've always wondered is, if everyone is sharing a straw, does that lead to issues with disease transmission? Seems like it would be very easy to spread a cold around or something worse.
- cat199 9y agosaliva + hot liquid are pretty good disinfectants, especially if only dry lips are used.. related side note: most (all?) eastern christian groups use a single spoon for communion.. my unscientific biological theory on these things is they to some extent cause immune-boosting results since you are getting a micro exposure to mostly killed off or weakened pathogens in combination with 'clean' nutrients (mate+vitamins or host) and potentially also antibodies from the others in the group..
