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!
p.s. boy, don't pollyanna looks great?

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.

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

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.

The average person "eats" about eight spiders during sleep in your lifetime!
My nose mask has no valve, but I have ffm that does.
