Just had a talk with a health inspector that changed how I look at my saws
He was in my shop yesterday for a routine check and pointed at my band saw blade. He said, 'You know, I see more issues with those than any other tool. A tiny bit of fat left in the teeth can turn bad fast.' He told me about a place in the next town over that got shut down for three days last year because of it. I've always cleaned it, but now I'm taking the whole thing apart every single night. How often do you guys do a deep clean on your saws?

Have you thought about the air in your shop? That inspector is right about the blade, but fat particles can get airborne and settle on other surfaces too. I run an air purifier near my saw station now and it catches a lot of that invisible grease mist you don't even see on the blade.
