Hi Kathryn, I've used CS in a nose spritzer, i.e. a misting spray, breathing in as I spritzed two or three times each side and down the throat as well, though that's difficult and makes me cough. I'll do this every 40 minutes or hour for three or four repeats at the first sign of a cold or respiratory flu. It does have some well, sting, but it knocks colds flat.
Testimonial: Friend who has two kids, both had colds and gorky noses-faces. We had to sit on them, literally hold them down on the floor and spritz them Greatly against their will, but it worked. Believe me; it was Not the placebo effect! I don't know about chronic fungal insult, but expect that the ultrasonic humidifier if it were just cut loose in a room would knock down a lot of the mold spores. I'd also consider using an electrostatic air cleaner; just got back from visiting another friend in Portland who has one in her house air conditioning-heating system and the difference in air quality is very noticeable. Since most of these generate negative ions (which tend to attach to particles in the air) just as a fringe benefit, I'd think the synergistic effect of the two devices working together would be significant. But YMMV. The fog from the ultrasonic humidifier is extremely fine, much smaller droplets than the spinning types, and the heater types simply boil the water away and leave the CS in the bottom as oxide. I've tried breathing the mist from the ultrasonic humidifier by putting a towel over it and my head, small additional advantage of misting the eyes as well as the face generally - maybe that's worthwhile, but the nose spritzer does it for me and others who've tried it, whereas ingestion doesn't. BTW, all the ultrasonic humidifiers I've looked at have essentially the same circuitry and transducers - not counting the small face-mask personal ones. Just take a peek down the cone the vapor-fog comes up through and you can see the shiny little disc down at the bottom. Skip the internal water filter block some of them sell, just leave it out.
