A member asked:
Can you tell me if the diagnosis i was given was correct. b.q. can spores develop in a vicks inhaler over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Since mold spores are airborne, a few spores can be found on the surface of any object exposed to the air. I would think that molds can't thrive in a Vicks' inhaler and even if present likely not clinically important.
