Garnet writes, again:
The droplet size is important because you want it to penetrate deeply.
The 'smoke' from from an ultrasonic nebulizer has a droplet size that is already small enough. Refer to my last note at 'Thirdly', especially the part where it says, "... puff of mist exiting ...". If you have some other reason for this exhaled mist, could you explain?
Larger droplets will condense on the cilia higher up in the lungs.
If this is true, what then happens to inhaled mist droplets after the cilia become saturated with condensed mist? I noticed, for example, when starting a new misting session, that I can't exhale any mist, regardless of how deep a breath I take. After 3 to 4 minutes of nebulizing though, even a medium intake of breath will produce exhaled mist. Where does the exhaled mist come from? What's the mechanism here?
Infection can occur higher up, but a lot of the mucous and pathogens are deeper, at the level of the alveoli.
Right. That's why people should nebulize for more than just a few minutes per session. Come on, Garnet. You seem to be quite knowledgeable about and have some experience in biology. Answer or refute the questions and statements I've put forth. My personal experience contradicts what you've said here about the mist from ultrasonic humidifiers. Please explain.
