Yes, if it's left wet in a closed space — that's not a product defect, it's simply the nature of any natural material. The fix is simple, covered in the next two steps, and if you follow them you'll never run into this problem.
Rinse the miswak head with water after every use, exactly as you would with a regular toothbrush.
