 Beware Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning!
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that may be released as a result of burner malfunction, improper maintenance, blocked or leaky flues, or poor ventilation.
Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Can Resemble the Flu
Know the symptoms of CO poisoning. Initial symptoms are similar to the flu (but without fever) and include:
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Impaired vision and coordination
If you think you are experiencing CO poisoning, get fresh air IMMEDIATELY. Open windows and doors for more ventilation, turn off any combustion appliances, and leave your home. Then call your fire department and report your symptoms. Seek prompt medical attention.
