There is a difference between steam from boiling water, which is sterile, and mist/water vapor from a hot shower or a hot tub, which is not.
So don't worry about steam from a boiling pot.

Do you know why that is, Sue?
However, keep in mind that the millisecond the steam from boiling water hits the air, (which isn't sterile), the steam is no longer sterile. Generally that's why using sterile water in air purification or (de)humidifiers isn't doing anything for you. The air or mist you breathe is not sterile.

Thank you, Sue. That is very good to know.
