Ever had anything creepy happen like a spider up the hose?

We have had brown recluses in this house and have found several in bed on occasion - but so far, none have found their way into my equipment.

Not for the faint of heart thread if creepy crawlies really bother you.

Do check out the link Pugsy posted. I remember a thread where someone did find a spider in the hose. There was a discission about using a panty hose over the end of the connector.

Reading this thread I became aware (again) of how sick some of us are! Oh, I don't mean physically!Pugsy wrote:Not for the faint of heart thread if creepy crawlies really bother you.

Sleep loss is a terrible thing. People get grumpy, short-tempered, etc. That happens here even among the generally friendly. Try not to take it personally.

I always loved that thread. Took me a bit of hunting to dredge it up again but this time I saved it.
We all know I am one sicko. I thought it was great fun reading it.
It can't all be about work...gotta have some fun too.
If someone is a bugaphobic...not the thing for them to be reading though. Of course now that I said that they all have to go look and then get grossed out. I am so bad.
A few bugs do not gross me out. I still remember riding my bike with mouth open and chewing gum...bug flew in...stuck to gum...surprised me so much I swallowed my gum.

Haha. This is always my first thought before hitting the start button. So far, so good.

I found an ant once in my humidifier tank. I went on to destroy them all with ant bait. Took about 2 weeks but I got rid of each and everyone one of them.

Great. As *IF* I didn't already have enough to give me nightmares...
Just like shaking your boots out for scorpions, I guess....

Re: Ever had anything creepy happen like a spider up the hose?
So far (2 months in to CPAP), I haven't had anything in my equipment. When I was kid, though, I was outside, playing and yelling, and a yellow jacket flew in my mouth and stung me on the tongue. I couthend talk for a week.
