Fog machines in October

[ToriMom]

Hello Friends !
I have a question about the safety of fog machines. Are they a threat to our CFers? Every Fall season it seems they are in haunted houses, outdoor festivals, concerts, skating rinks, etc.
I am anxious about what my daughter is breathing in when we are trying to enjoy this season. I have avoided them, but I wonder if I am being overprotective. She has recently cultured mycobacterium for the first time. Maybe that is fueling my paranoia.

Thanks so much,
ToriMom (mom to CF female 15 years old and non-CF Autistic 19 year old)

Hey, I googled fog machines and bacteria and this hit came up. See bottom. Obviously it's just some random person, but fwiw.

ps thought of you with new vertex trials for heterozygotes. Hope Tori can get in one.
hugs and prayers.
Love

Hi there!
Thanks for the support! So far I was told that the new triple drug would be in clinical testing for patients over 18 first. That means that for now we have to wait a bit longer. In the meantime my daughter got a port, and she is healing well from that. We are still hopeful that something will be developed to help her!
Hugs,
