vaporizers

We raised four sons without a vaporizer. I am of the opinion that they are mainly good for helping parents feel they are doing something useful for their child with a viral infection. I don't think there is anything too inherently bad about the devices per se. If you're going to use one:

• Use a cool mist one - don't risk a splash burn to you or much worse, your child. The child can grab the electrical cord and pull it over on himself.
• Don't put "medicine" in it. The "medicine" just gums up the vaporizer and smells up the room (well, I guess that is actually the function of it).
• Clean the thing often with bleach. Mold can grow in the vaporizer and throw off spores that can wreak havoc with the allergy prone child or adult.
