A nebulizer includes: a suction mechanism configured to suck a liquid for humidification from a water bottle containing the liquid and form an aerosol of the sucked liquid by a negative pressure produced by an oxygen gas jetted from a gas jetting part of a nozzle member a liquid receptor configured to store the liquid residing in the form of droplets into which the aerosol turns and a receptor-side aerosol forming member configured to suck the liquid from the liquid receptor and form an aerosol of the sucked liquid by the negative pressure. Consequently, germs are prevented from getting into the liquid in a container during use, and the liquid is prevented from dripping when the container is replaced.
