If this is the design that uses an ultrasonic humidifier then it is not a nebulizer at all. The size of the droplet is not small enough to reach into the bronchioles. An ultrasonic humidifier produces too large of a droplet to penetrate deep into the lungs to the site of infection. Most of the vapor will condense in the trachea and the upper bronchi because the droplets from this type of unit are
too large.

Hiya Garnet,

Firstly, doesn't air exchange in the lungs take place across
the walls of the alveolus, not the bronchioles? So wouldn't
an inhaled particle first have to pass through those walls
before getting to the bloodstream?

Secondly, wouldn't a droplet of inhaled mist of ANY
reasonably small size contain ions of silver? Assuming of
course, that EIS/CS was the liquid in the nebulizer or
ultrasonic humidifier. And when a mist droplet hits an
alveolar sac, won't the sac walls absorb those silver ions
with ease? After all, oxygen molecules are absorbed quite
easily and they are bigger in diameter than silver ions.

Thirdly, I use an ultrasonic humidifier to mist my EIS. It's
a Sunbeam model #697. I've connected a flexible PVC tube
that runs from the mist port which places the mist directly
at my nose or mouth. If I inhale the mist deeply via nose or
mouth and then immediately exhale, I can see a brief puff of
mist exiting my mouth. To me this means the EIS mist is
getting all the way into my lungs. If I hold my breath for
even just a couple of seconds and then exhale, no puff of
mist can be seen. To me this means that either most of the
inhaled mist has condensed on lung tissue or that it has
turned into clear water vapor, making it even more likely to
be absorbed.

Fourthly, my bronchial and lung issues have dropped to
zero since I started daily use of this wonderful and cheap
ultrasonic tool.

It might be more complicated than this but I'm having a
little trouble understanding why the mist droplet diameter
is so important when the droplet contains ionic-sized
particles. As well, I doubt that any store-bought nebulizer
can make mist droplets that are the size of silver ions.
