I have a breast pump that I used for my son, who is a congenital lymie.

This particular brand is one where they tell you not to share, because milk can get into the motor and dry there.

It has been almost 5 years since I used it, but I want to get rid of it.

What's your thought?

Not sure if the Lyme could live in there or not, but I would just get rid of it. Why chance it?

Can the materials be recycled? I would not let anyone else use it for many reasons. However, can you contact the company and see if it could be cleaned and sterilized, for certain? Perhaps there is an agency that would do this somewhere.
