Tp4 were scrubbing the porcelain tub after showering, the hot water was going, steamy, didn't have the vent fan on today, because it was quite cold otherwise.
After scrubbing for about 5 minutes of hunched over scrubbing, suddenly Tp4's arms felt weak, couldn't make circles, and his legs began to go soft.
His vision started to go blurry/blackened and he was falling forward.
Little did he know, this was acute hypoxia due to oxygen being dissolved into the shower steam combined with Intensive cleaning exercise..
Literally crawled out of the tub, opened the door and turned on the vent fan.
Just laid there for about 3 minutes before regaining full consciousness.
This reminds Tp4 of the incident in japan when the anime studio was arsoned, whereby 36 people died. 20 of those were found on the fire-escape stairs in their attempted escape.
Fire-fighters later reported, KEY TAKEAWAY:: It MAY only take 30 SECONDS of oxygen deprivation for someone to faint. :eek:
