I have a nebulizer & F10. I have not had to use it yet, & I hope I don't have to, but I know people that successfully kill an RI when caught early, using this, decreasing humidity & bumping up the temps a couple degrees.

I'm working on getting a fogger, but I figured I'd use this method until I have my fogger and F10 in hand. Like I said, one snake is all cleared up already after only 1 treatment. And for the record, I did lower the humidity and increase the temps (not that the temps matter since the JCP just likes to lounge on log and watch all the activity and the hog is to busy exploring and prefers on top of her hide as opposed to actually in it lol

I'm aware that they are 2 different products. I am also aware of they symptoms were last night before treatment and how they are now. I'm using my judgement and experiences that other people have had to treat my animals how I feel will work. I'm not forcing you or anyone else to do this, I'm simply putting it out there for information to anyone willing to try based off the fact that there are success stories behind it and that I'm seeing a difference in how my snakes are already.

I'm interested in the success stories. Is there anyway to link or point us to more information.

I don't want to see someone new to the game just try this. That's the issue. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using a human medication, for reptiles, especially one that's never been used for reptiles before. F10 and a fogger work very well. But again, F10 and Vicks are very different.

By calling it "RI Treatment (How-to)" it sure sounds like you're telling people to do it.....
