can u get sick from cpap
Has anyone gotten a cold from the Cpap machine? Only on it full time for a week and wala-bad cold. Its cleaned every day by soclean2 machine so no germs.
Re: can u get sick from cpap
Cold is a viral infection. You cannot get that from a CPAP, unless someone puts the virus in the CPAP.

Popcorn anyone? Lately I've been dipping mine in Salsa... not bad. May even add a bit of vodka next time.

Re: can u get sick from cpap
If you do a quick search, you'll find that most people don't use the SoClean Machine. Most think it's a big waste of money. There are so many threads about the SoClean Machine, and why the majority don't use them, it may take all day to read them.kiminabmw1 wrote:Sorry you aren't feeling well.

@amess: how exactly are you happy with it, if you still get sick? - clean your stuff once in a while and you will have no longer problems.
Re: can u get sick from cpap
Turn down (or off) your humidifier if you use it because if ambient humidity's already high, there's no point.

Re: can u get sick from cpap
Vodka kills more microbes, way more cheaply.
No need to rinse, the residual scent is quite soothing.
Why does anyone need to sanitize their cpap?
Your own germs are the only ones on it--after you have immunity to them.
Of course, if you sleep with a pet hamster . . .
