Anyone have any nebulizer recommendations?

Thanks, Sue, that advice is certainly wise. I will be traveling for three months and given that the Innospire has been discontinued I'm searching for a substitute. I guess I can buy two of the APOWUS, and bring them both but that means I'll be carrying extra weight. I'm considering buying the Pari-Trek but that will entail cleaning/sterilizing the nebulizer cup and I won't always have access to a place to boil water or even be able to buy alcohol. I'll be traveling in pretty remote places and mostly staying in simple accommodations. It's such a shame that the Innospire is no longer available. It seemed to be the perfect solution 🙁

But the Innospire also requires weekly sterilization, and so would the APOWUS or any other device you choose. I would get the Pari-Trek & disposable neb cups - use each for 5-6 days, washing and drying with soapy water after each use, then discard & replace. A dozen disposable neb cups, each sealed in a snack-size baggie, would be little weight or space. Save the baggies for all the things they are so handy for.

Hi bklynprof,
I don't have advice for nebulizer. But I would love to hear about your travel experiences. Since you will be travelling for 3 months, how are you going to prepare for the infections, since we are susceptible to them?
I love to travel. But I am afraid I don't know how to deal with the infection if it occurs while I travel to Europe or Asia. I recently did some traveling in the states that went well. I am still navigating my life with this new condition. Your plan for a 3 months trip to remote areas is absolutely inspiring.
Best of luck!
