  • Stuffiness, menthol and stupidity...

    So...

    I had a stuffy nose a few nights ago, fell asleep, woke up, two or three times. So, half asleep, I grabbed the menthol crystals tub from the drawer...

    Usual process is to drop about 3 crystals in, or if near the bottom of the tub and they're all tiny then a small pinch... Of course, by now, it's dark, the wife's asleep, I'm tired and uncoordinated, so I don't quite remember what I did.

    30 mins later when the humidifier has hit full temp and I wake up feeling like my head is in fire I hit the lightswitch, find an empty pot of menthol next to my cpap and suddenly it dawns on me, I tipped a half full tub of menthol into the humidifier chamber...

    OUCH. That took some rinsing and cleaning...

    Took me about an hour to get back to normal

    Oh dear, that must have been quite the experience. I'd imagine it was tough falling asleep agani after that! Like an arctic storm through your airways!

      It was not good - but like all things CPAP you learn to laugh about them afterwards!
