should I keep an oxygen machine?

you will die quicker if deprived of oxygen than any other substance. given that i think it can't hurt to keep extra.

I just love the paranoia of this response.

If you won't lose a deposit on it or anything, why not ebay it? If you're looking to keep it just to get high, surely you have better options.

EDIT: Rethought

actually, I read somewhere that 100 percent pure oxygen will EVENTUALLY kill you - I think you need some of the other impurities/stuff, or else it overloads something -

but we're talking days/weeks, I think -

I have no idea where I read this, but it was years ago and it just comes back to me...

O2 toxicity is what you end up with. It washes all the nitrogen out. Also it would take awhile to kill you.

If you give a newborn to much o2 you can make him/her blind.

Look up o2 toxcity.

BTW you can not get 100% o2 out of a concentrator. You really need high flow o2. You can only get about 5 liters a minute out of one.
