Yikes! This is why I use knee-high hose to cover the ends of the tube when not in use.

Not a good idea. You don't really want to block the humidity from escaping, do you?DoriC wrote:Oy! Just covered the opening with some Saran Wrap

Re: Be sure to check your hose before sleep
After finding a tiny moth in the hose onceI now always cover the mask end with a baggie zip-lock and never take the hose off the machine nor the mask off the hose ( so what, I'm not a wash all the stuff person).

Omgoodness! I will never unplug my mask from the hose again! Eww! And I will put my mask in a ziplock or something. Creepy!

I always tirm my Machine on before I attach the Mask to blow all the Creatures out that might have came in during the Day.

Wow, never thought that would happen. When you least expect it....expect it. That looks like an earwig and they can pinch! I've swallowed my share of bugs while riding motorcycle, but would have a tough time dealing with one blown up my nose. NASTY! john
