Amen to the steam!

For folks in the US, someone mentioned the Vicks personal steamer. That's
what I've got - I love it and I travel with it (pack a pair of clean socks
inside the hood thing to keep it from getting squished in your suitcase.)

The Vicks unit is actually made by Kaz, which has been making vaporizers
since time began, or so it seems. Kaz sells a virtually identical unit
under its own label, without the Vicks "bow tie."

I was in Wal-Mart recently and saw a third kind, again, virtually identical
unit, from a different company - don't remember who.

Prices range from just under $20USD to just under $30USD depending on store,
brand, and moon phase (or so it seems). I've seen steamers at Wal-Mart
and Phar-Mor (mega drugstore) and places like that. They are usually with
the vaporizers, tho' I saw steamers right by the checkout in one store!

Singer's Santa sez: "Merry Christmas! Hydrate! Humidify!"

Cheers,
