I use Mucomist and it always get all over everything when I use it! Where can you buy a mist tent to cover the place where you do the Mucomist?

I always thought mist tents were bad for you? That it harbors bacteria? I'm not sure...

Yeah they stopped using those in the 70s or 80s because they were harmful in some manner. I don't know what, but I imagine they stopped using them for a reason.

I don't think that a mist tent would solve your problem if you could find one anyway.
By what I gather from your post you are frustrated with the residue from some meds getting on other things in your room.
From what I have heard from my CF Nurse - whose brother had CF and used a mist tent when he was younger - a mist covers you and completely covers everything in it with residue from the meds. She said that her brother used to sleep in one as a child and that he would wake up and be soaked to the bone from the "mist" that the tent gives off and sticky to boot.
I wouldn't know where to begin to look for one anyway - but I wanted to share what little info I had heard from my docs office about them.
Take Care,
Lindsey

I don't know if this will help you, but I have a air purifier that I have moved to the area that I do my treatments in. Since I've done this, I've noticed less mist in the air, which in my thinking leads to less residue. Keep in mind the filters may need to be cleaned/changed more often, but it helps. I guess in summer you could use the same theory by sticking a fan backwards in a window or patio door to help suck the mist air outside.
The last thing you would want to do is a treatment in a mist tent. You would have to take a shower and change your clothes after each one! I guess you could always do your treatment in the shower with the curtain closed <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Are you remembering to breath in big breathes? Sometimes I'll forget, and only breath in small, shallow breathes - which means more of the treatment goes into the air and not your lungs.
Residue is a pain, but I find wiping things down once a month and spraying fabric and rugs with Febreeze do a good job of getting rid of the extra film and smell.

Mist tents are a bad idea. As wallflower mentioned, be sure to take big breaths so that you inhale the medication as completely as possible. The point is to get it inside of you and not all over the place! If you do your treatments in the bathroom, be sure to flip on the exhaust fan. This keeps things from getting too moist and harboring bacteria.
Another option would be to get a dehumidifier. An air purifier is NOT designed to deal with moisture, and using it to combat residue from the meds is a bad idea and could potentially cause more respiratory problems than it helps.
As a last resort I suppose you could consider doing your nebs in the kitchen by the fume hood over the stove (assuming you have one). Be sure to cover up the stove with a sheet of foil to prevent the meds from getting trapped in there.
