Good Morning!
What the heck is the difference between Oxine AH (which, I know is a disinfectant which is said to have killed every bacteria, virus and mold it has ever been tested against--but is that number 10 or 10,000?) and chlorhexidine (which I understand to be an antiseptic that kills something like 60 different viruses, fungi and bacteria).
I know I'm kind of answering my question within itself, but seriously, I cannot figure out when to use one versus the other. Can I use them interchangeably?
The big difference in usage is that many of you use Oxine in a fogger or humidifier. Why couldn't I do that with properly diluted chlorhexidine? It seems that pediatricians recommend using a bit of chlorhexidine in the humidifier to keep it germ free, but wouldn't using it in my chicken's humidifier keep their lungs and air sacks healthy?
Thanks!
