It sure is normal for me. I was told the purpose of the saline is to bring up the mucus, which provides a nice, warm, dark, moist place for the MAC to grow. Keep the mucus moving and there is little opportunity for the germs to settle. The purpose of 7% vs 3% is that it is even more inhospitable to MAC.

Thank you, Sue. For anyone interested, I ordered this portable nebulizer on Amazon and have used it once and it worked great. Much easier than using the nebulizer machine with the Aerobika. I am also continuing to use the Aerobika There is a warning that batteries will wear out after 4 to 6 full dose uses.
