does fogging oil kill spark plugs?

How many change spark plugs in the spring after fogging the engine in the fall?

I pulled a plug the other day after finally getting it out of storage and some other maintenance taken care of and noticed they were completely black after the engine was fogged last year. No real deposits just a black coating all over the plug, plugs were new last year maybe 35 hours on them. Will they clean up once it gets run hard or do they need to be changed?

I've been fogging motors for 50 years and have never found it necessary to change a plug for that reason. If I intend to change them, I do that last. If its not their time they stay fogged until Spring when the first startup burns off all the oil. 2 or 4 stroke, I do the same.

Kills Mosquitos and ants pretty good. Never had any problems with the spark plugs.

I have never had an issue with fogging oil and spark plugs. Been doing it for 8 years now.
