Default Kool mist vapors?

I have been doing quite a bit of lathe work using a kool-mist this week
and due to cold weather have the shop closed up. I came down with a flu
or something on day 2.
They spec sheet says it totally safe, but does anyone know something
different?
Maybe just the fact that I have been breathing a lot of water vapor
could make it easier to get sick?


I just saw an article on the subject, but can't
find it now. The gist was that there seemed to
be more asthma-like symptoms and complaints where
it was used. The problems were thought to be tramp
oil and mist out of ph specification rather than
uncontaminated fresh mist.
