I just fail to see how boiling accomplishes anything. The air we breathe has enough fungal spores in it to colonize anything quickly. As soon as the solution cools, it is open to colonization. I largely think the boiling step is just to make people feel better. I don't boil, but I do change solution and sterilize feeders frequently.
