As @rolph links below, oxygen is toxic at higher partial pressures.

I have an acquaintance who went to the hospital within 24 hours of her first hyperbaric treatment. She was coughing up blood, iirc: "I warned you about this, don't do that again."

The antidote for oxygen toxicity is somewhat therapeutic, beyond neutralizing the toxic effects of O2.
