Re: Bug In My Tank

Re: Bug In My Tank
I'm surprised that no one has linked to the infamous cockroach story. Or, the many previous discussions of it.
Anyway, do a forum search of "cockroach" and start reading. It all started way-back-when by the user "chrisp".

Yeah, it hadn't been in there long. It was still alive and squirming.

It means that you don't have an anti rebreathing valve at the inlet to your mask!mundanenoodle wrote:So last night as I was going to bed I checked my tank to see if it needed filled. As I peeked in I saw a giant pincher bug in the tank! It's a sealed tank of course so the only way it could have gotten in there was to crawl in the mask and down the tube! Pretty gross! Needless to say I had a little trouble going to sleep that night!
p.s. boy, don't pollyanna looks great?

I confess I didn't wanna read that post again (gave me the willies the first time!), but here it is: viewtopic.php?p=34271#p34271Wulfman... wrote:I'm surprised that no one has linked to the infamous cockroach story. Or, the many previous discussions of it.

Um, no, it doesn't. My Hybrid has an anti-asphyxiation valve in the elbow, and any determined bug could easily get past it. Avi strikes again.avi123 wrote:It means that you don't have an anti rebreathing valve at the inlet to your mask!
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.
Dx 11/07: AHI 107, central apnea, Cheyne Stokes respiration, moderate-severe O2 desats. (Simple OSA would be too easy.

I saw a small black ant in the display of my S9 never have ants in the room. Strange.

Re: Bug In My Tank
You know the old wives' tale about eating spiders in your sleep? I'd thought that when I was using my FFM I'd never worry about that again. Until now.mundanenoodle wrote:So last night as I was going to bed I checked my tank to see if it needed filled. As I peeked in I saw a giant pincher bug in the tank!
