Long night investigating "stuff".

I really want to research it but I fear I might get a knock on the door if I Google "hospital" and "bomb" at the same time!

I just looked up DDT and got the impression it may have been a victim of campaigners.

Big Clive

... sarcasm? Or active ingredient ❓👍

Cerity

LMAO... Mail Slot Spray = Preemptive Strike!

Anybody remember DDT?

If it's not love then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb the bomb the bomb the bomb the bomb that will bring us together.

I was chatting to someone at the hospital the other week (I've just been in for neurosurgery) and they still use foggers there East Mids area. In fact they use it at the end of the day in each of the operating theaters and the fogger is nicknamed "the bomb."

Simon Howroyd

We use this in the aircraft industry. We disperse it through a portable electrostatic sprayer and it can last for up to a month on each spray although we routinely respray every 14 days. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AETFDnG-e5s

I remember when they took Thimerisol out of contact lense disinfectant solutions in the early '80s, the organomercury based compound led to far more reactions than it's worth for the eye. I first used it when I started my ride operator job at a local amusement park. On the slowest of slow days a woman brought her son to the airplane ride where I was stationed, she looked at me, turned around and quickly moved on. Next break I washed hands in front of a mirror and found my eyes were bright red. Nothing like mercury in the eye to start your day.

They also do rechargeable gun versions, but I think they would be more of a close range wet spray as opposed to a permeating fog.

Big Clive

In the distant past they used just plain glycols to avoid cross infection in maternity wards. That would be the equivalent of a modern disco haze machine. The thymol or benzalkonium is in very low quantities, but would still not be something I'd want to breathe on an ongoing basis.

Big Clive

There's only one way to find out and that's to enter a castle full of vampires with a portable silver misting unit. It might be worth spraying some through the letter box in advance.

Big Clive

For dungeon moodiness you could just use an ordinary fog fluid.

Big Clive

Uh-oh. Quack science alert. Here's what the FDA says about it:- "Chlorine dioxide products have not been shown to be safe and effective for any use, including COVID-19, but these products continue to be sold as a remedy for treating autism, cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and flu, among other conditions, despite their harmful effects."

Big Clive

It's commonly found in things like kitchen and bathroom surface cleaners. benzalkonium chloride (BAC) has been around for a long time.

Big Clive

Does the mesh nebuliser use a small piezo disk?

Big Clive

If there is a fog that is anti viral but completely harmless to humans this would be ideal to just keep fogging supermarkets, schools and pubs etc. However as with anything you have to watch out that we don't have a flurry of people getting cancer or something in the future due to exposure to it.

I have a propane powered mosquito fogger. I could sterilize the whole neighborhood.

Paul Malloy

Hahaha, true, true... But in the movie it made that big dumb vamp belch fire, I'm new here: but didn't Clive make some sort of pound land baby doll shoot flames from her sigmoid colon? Imagine that on a much grander scale, it would be hard to pass up... just saying

Stephen Dunning I would be leery of trusting my safety to a mist of coloidal silver. It's silver bullets or suicide for me.

I have a propane powered mosquito fogger I can loan you, it's not a "roof" fogger, but it's portable and produces great clouds of fog...

interesting stuff off the NHS site.....the only thing l would like to know is does the fog settling on surfaces such as books and clothes cause problems with damp and mould https://www.evidence.nhs.uk/search?ps=50&q=benzalkonium+chloride

John Catterall

Not if you're a virus...

I imagine that the colloidal silver fog would also be effective against vampires as well as bacteria/virus (see the movie: Blade III, for conformation)

Technically speaking, cyanide is a plant extract.

Big Clive

Moist hot air.

Hmm. We use thymol in beekeeping for 2 purposes: you drip a solution onto the bees or sublimate crystals by heating, this is effective against the varroa mite; and also, you put a little thymol in sugar syrup that you feed to bees to boost their winter stores, and it stops it going mouldy and interesting colours in the feeder.

Ian Cooper

Seems kinky. I like it.

The packaging of the liquid suggests plant extracts but one never really knows.

Interesting stuff

BBC London news last night reported on a club, The Piano Works, that had a spray booth, outside at the entrance, spraying Chlorine Dioxide all over you for 5 seconds...so no need to wear masks.....hmmmm

Dannybuoy

Ya quake science and jurm war fear combined 🤞

YouKnowHowYouAre

It makes me wonder where all the fluid in the fog actually ends up. Condensing on all the surfaces in the space, I suppose? Now I'm wondering if disinfectants like benzalkonium chloride decompose into other compounds, what those compounds are, and how long it takes. I suppose it ends up being such a tiny volume when it's evenly distributed across all the surfaces in a space it probably doesn't really matter.

Brooks Andersen

Basically, it is a lot of hot air!

Frank

Also, after the discussion about vaping, I bought a cheap mesh nebuliser from Amz, it aerosolises liquid into a fine mist using a piezo, much like the 'Optimist' fake fire smoke. The ever opportunistic are now selling these as disinfecting 'foggers', they work well but have a very limited range, ideal for fogging small items like a parcel or a set of keys.

The Tinkering Shed

I still have almost a full litre of BAC50 from making foaming hand sanitiser, that stuff goes a very long way, maybe I should de-moss my roof with it, anyone got a roof fogger I can borrow 😄

The Tinkering Shed

I always feel sorry for all these silver ions wandering around with missing electrons!

Dr Andy Hill

I understood only half of what you wrote, but I guess I don't wanna have such fog in my bedroom? I am wrong with that?
