I only found three posts searching the archives on the vinegar fogger and
they were all on the 28th of May 2001.
 To look at the machine*vinegar fogger* (made by Honey Processors,LTD).you
need first to look at vinegar.
Vinegar relies on its chief chemical ingredient Acetic Acid to kill
microorganisms   I believe this is accepted truth from my high school
biology.
The proponets of Acetic Acid against bacteria claim:
All carbohydrates contain the same chemical elements,carbon,hydrogen  and
oxygen. Acetic acid dissolves bacteria spores by breaking up carbohydrates
in them.

True or false  researchers?

The proponets of acetic acid against varroa claim:

Acetic acid readily breaks down . the hard covering (Chitin) which is made
up of  calcium which is the hard shell of the varroa mite.
True or false varroa researchers?
The proponets of acetic acid for varroa control use the following example:
An example of the effects of white vinegar(acetic acid) on calcium is the
effect it has on a chicken bone. The bone turns to rubber. I plan to test
this example. My attempts at catching one of the wifes chickens in the
middle of the night with a hernia has resulted in dismal failure (kidding!).
Is this example correct researchers?
 The points I have listed above are why I made the statement in theory the
vinegar fogger should provide a certain amount of varroa  control. If
researchers will comment and say the two points the proponets of Acetic acid
have made are *hogwash* then I will have to amend my position in the
*vinegar fogger* discussion.

Ps. Am I the only person in the world up in the middle of the night thinking
about the vinegar fogger?
