What you Should Know About Carbon Monoxide and your Health

Carbon monoxide is an especially dangerous gas because it is both odorless and tasteless. This makes it difficult for people to know when they have been exposed. Carbon monoxide poisoning is also dangerous because the symptoms, which include headaches and dizziness, can mimic other less serious ailments, such as the flu. People who experience these symptoms may choose not to seek medical help because, initially, they think there’s nothing really wrong. Or they may visit a doctor and not be properly diagnosed. This can make carbon monoxide injuries worse because the body is deprived of oxygen for a longer period of time.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms:

The specifics of your medical problems will vary depending on how much carbon monoxide exposure you suffer and how much oxygen your body is able to get.

Chronic exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide can cause:

• Depression;

• Confusion.

Acute exposure can cause symptoms including:

• Confusion;
• Vertigo;
• A feeling of being lightheaded;
• Sensations resembling the flu;
• Seizures;
• Damage your nervous system and heart;
• Coma; or even
• Death.
