OXINE seems fabulous. Users please share usage, dosage, storage, etc.

Adding citric acid to Oxine makes a TOXIC solution of activated Oxine. Do NOT expose poultry to activated Oxine.
Activating Oxine with citric acid does not make a toxic solution. According to the instructions on the bottle, you should prepare a 500 ppm solution of activated Oxine to disinfect poultry and livestock housing. To prepare a 500 ppm solution of activated Oxine, I add 3.25 ml of concentrated Oxine to my 1 gallon sprayer bottle, then put it outside near my hose. Then I add 10 grams citric acid, give it a quick swirl and walk away for 5 minutes. Then I use the hose to add 1 gallon of water which stops the reaction. They also have instructions for how to disinfect the drinking water for poultry and livestock. You prepare an activated Oxine solution and then dilute it in the water supply to 3-5 ppm. And you can use 200 ppm activated Oxine to sanitize eggs in the shell for consumption without rinsing. The instructions warn the user to prepare the activated Oxine in a well ventilated area, and to avoid breathing any fumes while the citric acid crystals are dissolving. So you should not stay close enough during activation that you will breathe in the fumes. It only creates a tiny amount of fumes near the opening of the bottle, and this has never caused me any problems. According to the label, you can use 1000 ppm un-activated Oxine solution for controlling the build-up of slime forming bacteria in animal confinement areas. Note that this is not disinfection, which would kill fungus, bacteria, and viruses. I called Bio-Cide International to clarify this and they told me that the un-activated Oxine does not provide the same efficacy as the activated Oxine.
 
Are you still around? Do you remember where you bought the 5 micron nebulizer?
Any ultrasonic humidifier (not a heated humidifier) would create droplets from 1-5 microns. This could be a humidifier manufactured in a case with controls, or a mist maker that you can put in any container of water, or Oxine in this case. Here is one I bought on Amazon that works great.
