I wouldn't be so hasty to say that there is no such thing as
susceptibility to O2 hits.  Physiologically, high PPs of O2 use up
certain enzymes and make the body more susceptible to an O2 hit so I
don't see why someone couldn't be (for some reason) deficient in some
of these enzymes.  (please, anyone more knowledgable than me in this
area, feel free to fill in more details here, I'd really like to know
more *or* to find out what I can *read* to learn more!).

I certainly agree with the full face mask idea though...
