Don't Wash and Reuse Condom, Centers for Disease Control warns

If you think this suggestion is too obvious, consider the fact that the Centers for Disease Control, that beleaguered bastion of health advice, recently felt the need to tweet it out.

"We say it because people do it," they wrote. "Don't wash or reuse condoms! Use a fresh one for each sex act."
