Where you got that myth from?


This is what happens on a sustained, high ppO2 if you don't tox.

When your OTU clock tick up in the high thousands you will be in that
mode. You can get confirmation for this from any nurse or M.D. working
in lung units. Terminal patients need high O2 levels not to die, but
that same O2 will kill the patients if given for a sufficiently long
time.

Well, that's a bit distant from exposures in diving. Look at the time span and exposure conditions needed to cause permanent lung damage.




Our docs say that the convulsion can brake yr backbone, and that's it.


You can also swallow your tongue, and then choke.


The nitrogen may also slow the onset of O2 convulsions, but there
haven't really been lots of data on this.

That is why oxtox is said to come earlier with Helium mixes, and thus the reduction of ppO2 in mix dives.


Not just for that. Deco works better if you haven't had too
high O2 exposure at the bottom.

That self-understood. ( At least I hope so)
