Sol et al, That nebulizer is a standard hospital nebulizer minus the mouthpiece and the corrugated plastic hose to mix the aerosol with ambient air. The hose , about 6 inches long, goes where the nebulizer is fixed to the treatment box. The mouthpiece goes where the red plug has been place.
They sell for a little less than $4 at standard people's medical supplies. I cannot recall the manufacturer but it is distributed by Medline. If the rat people are buying them wholesale, then they are applying a greater than 400% markup. What a ripoff. People must really love their rats. I think they are an alien biowarfare agent, and in spite of my Buddhist training, kill them whenever they infringe on my space. Vicious destructive little F***ers they are. They use their urine (oops) and feces as a potent allergen to drive larger animals out of desirable habitat. They tried that on me, and I am now engaged in an all-out war of extinction. But I digress. That is the type of nebulizer I have been using instead of the airbrush. Your info confirms that the particle size is adequately small. Does "luminal surface" mean "the inside of the tube"/ Jim -----Original Message----- From: sol [mailto:sol...@sweetwaterhsa.com] Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 10:12 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>particle size in nebulizing, was Re: CS>CS pneumonia protocol with air brush I recently ran across a site on nebulizing pet rats that states you can't just use any old nebulizer for rats, they need a small particle size for nebbing to be effective. Wasn't in regard to nebbing CS, but regular abx nebulizer formulas. Still, if the smallest possible particle size is desireable for nebulizing CS without using an airbrush one might want to consider the nebulizers recommended by the rat people. http://ratguide.com/health/bacteria/mycoplasma_mycoplasmosis.php sol Jim Holmes wrote: >Does anyone know if that difference in particle size effects the penetration >of the sol into the alveoli? > >Later, > >Jim > > > > > -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
