While I was attempting to scrub my mulberry sticks, the bark was going to so I'm just gonna boil them then bake them for a couple of hours or so. Is this gonna be safe without the scrubbing process? Anyone who may be of help, please let me know asap! Thanks so much!:hair:

The bark was going to? You mean coming off? If the bark was coming off either the wood is old and not tasty, or you were scrubbing, really, really hard. Mulberry bark is actually yellow when it's clean.
I don't boil, I don't see the point. If you bake high enough you kill anything you'd kill boiling and boiling just soaks the wood, increasing the chances you won't get it dry enough when you bake it.

I just cut it myself so its fresh. A lot of its pretty green though and it was stripping the bark when I was trying to cut it up. And yes thats what I meant! I was using something harder than my usual brush so thats why it was coming off I think. I already boiled some but the next batch, I won't. I guess I'll just bake it for a couple of hours because I boiled it. I've got it going on 170 right now. Hopefully it'll work out. I found my brush after I boiled it so I went over it again. I'm hoping it'll work ok so I can have some happy babies later!
