[Greenbuilding] humidifier bacteriostat

[Benjamin Pratt]

I googled the heck out of this one and couldn't get an answer. Sorry
if this is not appropriate to this list....

1. Is there a safe bacteriostat to use in my wicking type humidifier?
I have no idea whether the chemicals is the stuff I bought are ok to
breathe, but they are scary to try to pronounce. I thought about
trying vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide, or even a couple of drops of
bleach (since it's in the water anyway), but I really have no idea
whether this is a good idea

2. Is there some sort of "natural living" forum you could recommend
where questions like this would be more appropriate?
