What are your recommendations for travel nebulizer?
A few months ago there were some emails about what to take and do when traveling. Someone from the NYC support group recommended the PariTrekS portable nebulizer. I ordered it from Just Nebulizers. When I ordered this I inquired at Just Nebulizers if this could be used with an aerobika. They referred me to Pari and its spokesperson could not definitively endorse their product with an aerobika. I got the same sense that Katherine always got that they didn't want to recommend a competitor nor endorse something for fear of liability. In any case, it can operate as an efficient nebulizer with a small compressor for travel. I ordered mine with a battery. The battery (not really needed) came defective and neither Just Nebulizers or Pari would give me a refund. Pari will be sending a replacement but as mentioned, battery is really not necessary. Hope this is helpful for the travelers on our forum. Terry

Does anyone use a portable nebulizer? I am just starting the process and am planning to travel soon. I would be interested if you had success and with which portable nebulizer.

1 ReactionHi prispal. You can use a Life Straw water bottle for washing and rinsing, and those individually wrapped 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes will work for sterilizing. We were recently in the British Isles and could not get either hydrogen peroxide or 70% isopropyl alcohol over the counter; one pharmacist told us we had to mail order! This surprised me as we had easily bought a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in Paris two years ago. We ended up getting a handful of the wipes from our ship's medical officer and they worked well enough until we got home and I sterilized everything in the microwave steam bag. Have a wonderful trip!
