PA in Tap Water

I think it's the "aerosoling it into your lungs" part that is bad. Drinking is okay <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . Someone please correct me if I've got it wrong!

When I learned that they quit using vinegar to sterilize nebs, I have used rubbing alcohol to sterilize my Flutter- don't know if that is a recommended way to clean it or not, though, so you may want to ask first <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . I don't use mine very often.

Huh? I was told to wash my Flutter and neb with a little dish soap and water and sterilize it with distilled white vinegar (in hot tap water) every couple of days. I also drink filtered tap water and regular tap in restaurants. What am I supposed to be doing? Ack!</end quote></div>

Vinegar does not kill PA......

I worry less about drinking water versus putting water that goes on devices directly into my lungs.....
