#4961: Vaccine Mouthpiece (fwd)

Dear Gage,

If you happen to have a working vaccine at hand, and/or intimate knowledge of
how the mouthpiece of one is formed, I would really appreciate some pointers
on its construction.

When the membrane forming the mouthpiece is punctured: how big should the hole
be? And should the opening in the membrane be higher (toward the mouth) or
lower (away from the mouth) than where the membrane actually connects to the
inner surface of the bamboo tube? These tips (and any others) related to
constructing a vaccine that really works would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, Eric Dannenbaum.
