Med residues and sweat residues

[Guest guest]

Nebulized ventolin (albuterol or salbutamol) doesn't seem to cause much

problem for us but we have found that nebulized GSH leaves a sticky residue.

The other problem with doing meds on the computer (actually - forget the

meds part) ... the other problem with my son USING the computer is the

gritty/powdery feeling left behind on the mouse. We assume it is salt

residue from his sweat. His hands and feet both sweat profusely and the

hands leave a grittiness on everything he uses ... his brothers and friends

notice it on game controllers after my son has been playing.

Most recently, my son has been learning to drive. Sweat runs down the

steering wheel so he is frequently wiping his hands on his pants to dry them

as he drives. The next person to drive gets a gritty/powdery-feeling

steering wheel. We are experimenting with different solutions ... keeping a

towel in the car for him to wipe hands on instead of pants. We wipe off the

computer mouse and game controllers after use and are going to start keeping

wet wipes in the car for the steering wheel. The sweat seems to be quickly

wearing out the leather cover on the steering wheel, though.

Anyone else find this or has anyone got good solutions?
