@AndyLowry Oxygen is nasty. Almost everything will burn in pure oxygen, even things that you think of as inert. (My BSc was in chemistry).

I've seen what it can do to steel and iron. But, perversely, the body seems to depend on it. I'm certainly treating it with care; I remember a demonstration of thrusting a glowing straw into a tube of oxygen and watching it nearly explode. There are open flames in the house, so I have to make sure there are never any leaks anywhere.
