Nebulization of Sick/New Snakes

[Selkielass]

Sporadic, preventative treatments are a very effective way to select for antibiotic/pesticide/ disinfectant resistant organisms.
beekeeping is a mess today in part because of scattershot, home brewed and only partially effective treatments for disease and mites. Its a dangerous game.
My apologies if I have overreacted or hurt anyone, but I didn't realize how strongly I felt about this issue until my husband asked me a question, and I realized my body was in a full fledged adrenaline pumping panic attack. Intellectually I know its an overreaction, but my body decided to go int full panic mode. I apologize and I hope I didn't allow anything irrational to make it to this discussion.

I believe nebulization could and should be a valuable treatment for respiratory conditions.
I don't believe home brewed, cobbled together treatments are a safe or effective treatment in the long term. You may save a snake, but you set up condition stat will lead, in the long term to treatment resistant organisms. You also open yourself, your family and your collection to exposure to substances in ways that have not been tested, and may have unknown long term consequences.

Experimentation is necessary to develop new procedures and treatments, but I believe it should be done with careful thought and planning, and the mistakes of the past really need to be avoided.

That's probably one of the best points of the thread.
