Should I be worried...
 
#5
This reminds me that the original meaning of the term "bug" came from the fact that in the days of ENIAC and the great big old vacuum tube computers
a bug was literal. In other words, it could easily be an insect like a spider or a roach that wandered into the computer and got zap-fried and was causing a
short. That's why they established clean room protocols and the like.

It's really VERY rare these days, but occasionally, just occasionally, a tiny insect might wander into your box and get fried by the power supply.
