Maybe, but since it's not related to CPAP, you're going to have to guess!

After seeing that earwig in the hose, I'm doing a full inspection every day AND covering the ends with recycled knee-hi's.

Given the seasonal migration of boxelder bugs into the house, I did check my hose last night--after seeing yesterday's picture..............and then put the mask under my pillow this morning to avoid any visitors.

I don't like bugs in my nose or hose.........not that I've had any, but there's some things you just know without experiencing........

Hmmm...this is quite the open-ended inquiry. Are you leaving it wide open for a reason? Is it like when you inquired about proposing, but you had no intention of proposing? Well, we're not falling for that again! YOU tell US first what new ritual you engaged in last night!!

I had to laugh when I saw this thread. I put a new hose on last night.

so last night it all felt like brand new.

ARGH - why'd you say that?! Just yesterday I saw one in my bedroom, thinking, oh it's harmless, just ignore it. Wonder where it is by now?

I've been regularly checking on the condition my climateline hose ever since i read about the isues that other member's have had with them,developing hole's.The only new ritual that i started is to place a piece of nilon stocking with a rubber band over the end of the hose,it sort of make's me feel a little more comfortable doing this no UFO's in it i don't disconnect the hose from the humidifier except for cleaning once every few week's(( Dont want to wear out the electrical contact's between the hose and the humidifier)) i consider myself lucky i've been using the same hose now for about 6 month's with no issues so far..

I've convinced myself the bug picture is NOT REAL.
After all, I've convinced myself to sleep with a machine and a mask on my face so I'm easily convinced.
