Healing Upper Respiratory Infection With F10 Nebulization?
I was watching snakebytes TV, and check out this link:

They said that they nebulize their snakes with F10 veterinary disinfectant.
I have F10, and apparently it is noncorrosive when it's at the proper dilution. In its concentrated form it is corrosive, according to the paperwork I have for it.
What are your thoughts about this treatment? Do you think it would work to clear out a respiratory infection? Do you think it is safe?

I would agree that taking your python to the vet right away would be a problem-solver, but could this be a good solution for anyone that doesn't have a good exotics vet close by, or maybe a first resort to see if it solves the issue?
Personally, I trust BHB because as a newbie I have gotten so much good info from them.
However, I don't really see how breathing in a disinfectant can be good for your snakes.
I wonder if anyone on here has experience with this method.

Would I? Nope, not unless it's under my vet's watchful eye and advice. When it gets to the time I'm too cheap or too lax to take my aniamls to the vet when they're sick, as a child should be taken to the doctor when they're ill, I'll give them away.
Do I think it's safe? Mixed feelings here, as my common sense tells me that inhaling a chemical that kills baddies probably isn't going to be good for sensitive lung tissue. There are several versions of F10 - are people making sure they're getting the one that's meant to be nebulized or grabbing and using any ol' one they see? I've also seen several stories online where this treatment has, in fact, KILLED their animals.
