"Is Fake Fog Safe To Breath?
Most consumer fog machines use fog fluid made of a combination of water and a chemical called glycol, which has been found to be safe in a number of studies and is not considered to be hazardous to humans, and generally used without problems. But, some people do complain of respiratory problems and throat irritation when exposed to theatrical fog.
Rosco International of Stamford, Connecticut, a manufacturer of Glycol based fog machines maintains the fog produced is safe when used properly, meaning not "overfogging" and when using only fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
"We have been advised over the years that this is an extremely safe material to be around," says Eric Tishman, senior product manager.
"When somebody sees a smoke or fog like this, it's a psychological problem," says Jim Kehrer, head of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Texas. "If you see some sort of fog or smoke rolling at you, and you already have a breathing problem, it's going to get worse."
A study, conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in 1994, found no evidence that the fog causes asthma as long as it is used correctly. But because the fog can be irritating or drying, the institute said, exposure to the fog should be minimized, the fluids should be heated to the lowest temperature necessary and the proper fluids should be used.
If the fog machine is used indoors you should make sure the room has adequate ventilation. Some people with breathing problems may have problems breathing while in the fog. It is a good idea not to breath the fog for extended periods of time. Consult the manufacturers recommendations."
Considering that snakes are prone to respiratory problems I would do your best to keep that smoke out of your snake room. Better safe than sorry. And keep your apartment/house ventilated!
"It's a good idea to not breath the fog for extended periods of time".....I thought it was harmless
