Re: Planes - devices to release/clean air in catalogs

[Guest guest]

I was looking at a catalog recently aimed at travelers and noticed a

little machine that blows out cleaned air - it's worn on a sort've

string around the neck. Think there was something else too that a

traveler could wear on an airplane to improve the quality of air the

individual breathes. The question is: Do they work? Has anyone ever

tried any of these devices? I'd like to know because like another

poster I'm looking at 1 - 2 weeks in bed after most plane trips.

My mother gave me a little black one that you wear around your neck

but I didn't use it because it also had the ionizer or whatever it is

that we're all supposed to avoid.

This trip I took 20mg pred each morning as well as used my Xoponex

inhaler every 6-8 hours and I did ok.

With regards to these devices, if they create ozone or de-ionize the

air, they can make asthma worse. I asked my pulmo. dr. and she said to

stay clear of them in my house, at work and the personal ones. In some

people with asthma, the extra ozone created will make you worse. At

work I have a respirator to filter out the bad stuff (mold, dust

mites, cat dander, etc.). Do a google search about ozone creators and

people with asthma and make an informed decision.

Thanks.
