Carbon Monoxide poisoning can be almost impossible to detect because the gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
Carbon Monoxide is produced when you burn fuel in cars, trucks, small e ngines, stoves, grills, laterns, fireplaces, furnaces, or portable generators.
When CO builds up in an enclosed space, those who breathe it can be poisoned.
CO is harmful when inhaled because it displaces oxygen in the blood, depriving the heart, brain, and other vital organs of oxygen.
Within minutes, large amounts of CO can cause you to lose consciousness and can be fatal.
Initial symptoms of CO poisoning may include tightness in the chest, headache, fatigue, dizziness, drowsiness, or nausea.
During prolonged or high expsoure, symptoms may worsen to include vomiting, confusion, and collapse, leading to loss of consciousness and muscle weakness.
