OK so my females have made a mess in every tub with coco fiber, I usually get the little dust pan and put it back in but decided it was time to replace it anyway. So I got the shop vac to vacuum it all out. I get all but the last 2 tubs then the filter in the vac blew from where I had gotten it wet from the sink leaking. The fiber went every where and the circuit blew.
I went downstairs to reset the breaker and before I got all the way back up I got sick, I had EMily run get me a cup and I puke dup coco fiber all the way to the bathroom.
Then I get to where I cannot breathe, I felt like I just could not catch my breath at all. I thought it would go away but after coughing up clear foam with brown specks which I assume were coco fiber for 30 minutes I tried to lay down.
That made it worse so I had Cody get the phone and I called 911. They came and said my heart rate was a little fast but fine, my pulse was tacky and my pulse ox was bad. I have no idea what all of that means but they kept me on oxygen for almost an hour and wanted me to go to the hospital but I refused because I could not find my dad to come get the kids.
This was all around 1pm, they said that if within an hour I did not feel better I needed to call back but I still couldn't get in touch with my dad.
By 4pm I found him but was feeling a lot better. I could breath but I still feel like someone beat the crap out of me and jumped up and down on my chest.
Im just glad the kids were in the living room and I was in the bedroom so they were not affected, that could have been a really bad disaster.
So scoop your coco fiber, don't take chances, Im threw it all out and going to change it over to peat moss.
