Nebulizer for fun

As a child I had to stay on a Nebulizer (asthma) twice a day. It was a nightmare for an active kid even if it was just 15 minutes at a time.

I just came by a cheap nebulizer and made me wonder if anyone uses this for fun?

Would it be safe to add pee or other smelly agents to it?

It would be rather unsafe to use random liquids in a nebulizer. I have COPD and use a neb 2-4 times a day and I have studied respiratory health extensively. Anything you breath in through a nebulizer is going to be absorbed by the lungs if it is water based. Anything that is oil based such as fragrances will coat the lungs and not be absorbed, leading to lupoid pneumonia.

The best non-prescription nebulizer liquid is sterile saline solutions, which I use frequently during the day. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267170874145?_skw=sterile+saline+nebulizer&epid=6051577318&itmmeta=01JPF9B5ZRA41030QY072S6DYJ&hash=item3e34a00321:g:HCgAAOSwq1VnvikO&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fxwjEHau7%2FJoPIjHUp%2BZVPAAlC0%2FjrpYQPBXUBSzrn3ALd%2BS4qu4VCIkD5NllHlI51ydO8jvLml6u6Fg4RsShqGmtW7fqU4%2FVqtEX28An4Wqzx4PZ99OHzJd9u1t%2FdWQddVwTTlg4ymMcMfgxG1oQjcnsJ3%2BBHSM19J5jSsdEx3Vh9va8zvN%2FwvwVe7rTte5gm6NWVArRGkmB5rNXAWDdLKJs9776iArCIqQBaWMira2iCMJkzCD%2FvkHZamNAg6kU%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4DgrOmzZQ

The main thing to remember is that putting stuff into your lungs is pretty much a one-way trip for the stuff.

Thank you for confirming my apprehensions. I’ll stick to saline and use other methods for aromatherapy - like a wet diaper over your face.

I had a feeling it wouldn’t be safe, given it is use to send medicine into the lungs

This is very dangerous. Anyone with asthma or cold will tell you that. You don’t want any thing in your lungs with a nebulizer except ordered medication

A nebulizer can also harbor dangerous germs like Legionella, which can cause a dangerous pneumonia.
