Interesting and timely. I have not changed anything and about 1 week ago I started itching all over my body, most pronounced on my face and back. I have been nebulizing albuterol and 7% saline for over a year, have not changed my diet or anything else. I did start a new pack for albuterol solution the day before the itching started (this was pack 2 of 2 no issues with the first pack). About a week later still itching. Today I tried to use my albuterol puffer instead on nebulizing the albuterol. Sill itching but a little less. I have NTM-MAC and Abscessus. Currently treating for the MAC.
The albuterol I am using is from Mylan Pharmaceuticals Lot 23S12 , expires 11/30/25
Going to my PCP on Wednesday to help find out what is happening and to get some relief and to see if I need to contact my NTM Specialist. It has been very hot and humid in Delaware and not sure if that could be contributing to the problem.
I would be interested to see if anyone else responds.

Hi Sherri. I was wondering if you saw your PCP today and what he had to say about the itching. One of my patches was right by my eye so I went to the eye doctor to make sure eye was okay. He said it had nothing to do with my eye. I saw my dermatologist today and he had several ideas of what it could be an allergy to but won’t know about that til I try a few things. My ID doctor says it would have nothing to do with the NTM but I wonder?
If you found out anything that could help I would be so grateful to hear what that might be. In the meantime the itching is about to drive me crazy😥

Our situations sound very similar. I am quite uncomfortable and worried, but can’t see my NTM until the end of the month. I also thought it might be heat related, but who knows? Thanks for your response.
