Ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and monsters are certainly scary! You really don’t want to find them lurking about your home! But, if there’s one thing that’s scarier than all these creatures combined, it’s carbon monoxide — here’s why:
The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide
According to the National Safety Council, carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that often goes undetected, killing more than 400 people and sending 20,000 others to the emergency room every year! Carbon monoxide is produced by burning fuels, so if you’ve got any gas appliances in your home, its best to be aware of the symptoms:
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Mental confusion
- Vomiting
- Loss of muscular coordination
- Loss of consciousness
- Death
Pretty scary, huh?
Here’s What You Can Do About It
