Do hermits eventually suffocate?

I was just wondering about something. Since hermits never or rarely leave their house, do many of them suffocate after being inside their house for a long time? Like if they never open their doors or windows, will they eventually run out of air and like die of suffocation?
 
I doubt it, I'm sure there are some cracks, holes, not everything is air tight. So they get oxygen somehow.

Wouldn't heat still be transferred to the air inside an air tight container thereby also increasing the pressure?

If this was the case 90 million nerds in their moms basements playing World of Warcraft would have died long ago.
 
Here I come in expecting a few paragraphs on the deterioration of the hermit crab's lungs or some such thing. Stupidest post ever.
