I’m far from being an expert on Mac but I don’t think steam rooms or hot tubs are good if you have Mac. There are other ways to loosen your chest that don’t compound your respiratory issues.

Using a nebulizer with saline is probably the best way to go but there are so may people on this forum who will have good suggestions for you.

Good luck!

What??!! Someone wants to sit in a hot tub or steam room ? Wow, one other name for this disease is Hot Tub Disease because the MAC is so prevalent in the steam. It might loosen mucous, just enough to let tons of the MAC little devils in, bad idea
