My box fan has been running around the clock for nearly 3 months now.
It only gets shut off when I leave for a weekend, or during rain
storms when I need to shut the window. *Otherwise it sucks air thru
the house 24/7. *I cant afford the electricity to run a window Air

Yep. But just look how much safer you would be without the box
fan...lets see, known problem (not the 'could have' 'might have'
problems) divided into the population equals? I guess some
vanishingly small chance of it causing a problem.
