How safe is wrights vaporizer fluid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not safe: Never heard of this product so I did some internet searching. Apparently this product has risks and I found an article from the 1980s that reviewed it's role in the death of a child. I recommend just plain water based vaporizer with no additives. The cool mist helps reduce nasal congestion and aides in liquefying nasal snot. http://pmj.bmj.com/content/56/653/166.full.pdf
