Low-level CO poisoning can cause health issues

Winter is the season where there are typically more cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. But you don't need to be exposed to a high amount of CO to get sick.

    Exactly why you need a digital readout meter clip on. The interviewed doctor said the symptoms are 'flu like' and if it is CARBON DIOXIDE it is almost impossible to diagnose, feeling unwell, memory loss. And what medical professional is going to put his career on the line for a CO2 diagnosis. His hospital affiliations would be revoked forever; his future would be McDs.

    Scary (‘almost no way to test someone for low level carbon monoxide poisoning’ from a doctor). And it causes longterm health issues. Note to self: install carbon monoxide detectors in your future home and travel with portable detectors..

    I have been experiencing the symptoms for years but I never thought it could have been low levels of carbon monoxide. We have a gas stove, gas dryer and I just had to put two and two together to finally realize I have been exposed to low levels of carbon monoxide. The crazy thing is that you always dismiss it because of the fact we have carbon monoxide detectors however what nobody tells you is that those detectors are programed to go off if the levels of carbon monoxide reach lethal levels of over a 100 ppm. However you could still have carbon monoxide in your house at low levels and those detectors will never sound the alarm. Also most of those detectors have a life span of 5 years. After that or maybe a little earlier they just stop working because of the electro chemical components decompose inside. I would recommend getting a carbon monoxide meter so you can test the levels inside tho house yourself and test what appliance is producing it. I had forgotten about this issue until now after I spent the whole past week with extreme fatigue, drowsiness. I slept and I slept and wake up feeling completely exhausted, drowsy. I felt I was gonna die. It coincides with heavy use of the stove during the week and prior week. It wasn't until I opened the window in the hallway it front of my room that I started feeling within the hour the energy coming back to me and the drowsy Ness dissappear. I was also feeling depressed and lots of anxiety and having issues expressing words. Pretty scary. Our kitchen is downstairs and right next to it are the stairs that lead to upstairs hallway where also the return for the upstairs ac unit is. So whatever carbon monoxide being expelled by that stove would get pulled through that hallway into the return and spread around every room. We live in the south so temperatures are not cold yet to use the heater. I'm in the process to buy a carbon monoxide meter. Not a detector. So I can read the levels myself and do several tests. What I'm doing as a precaution is to leave window open for a few hours every day when there's a lot of cooking in the house. Something about carbon monoxide is that it is slightly lighter than the air we breathe so undisturbed it will tend very slowly to go up to the ceiling however due to normal air ventilation by people walking around or the ac system or ceiling fans it will mix evenly with the air inside most of the time. Hence why those plug in carbon monoxide detectors they sell are not the best option since they get plugged at an outlet height near the floor. It will always be best the ones installed on the ceiling.

    Interesting I lived unknowingly in house furnaced leaked for years. I kept cracking windows in dead of winter when normally I’d never do that. It saved us. But had 2 small dogs. One older went into sezuire and passed before I found out. Later other started having sezuires. Then I too had one in sleep. Had headaches first time in life thought just cause under stress. Till I realized they left when I left the house. One super cold night no heat. Heating company comes in says oh my you all must leave now. Dr said carbon monoxide lays close to floor why dogs were affected worse. It did leave me with pheripheral nueropathy long term. Had many other issues to overcome for many years in beginning. I’d never wish that on my worst enemy. Get a meter not a detector. We built a home I was insistent on nothing that could leak it. I still trust nothing. Even a fireplace can cause it.

    Carbon monoxide isn't produced by electric heat. Electric heaters work by having a high resistance and putting off the intentionally wasted energy as heat.

    @@zackbell6602 that's right. Electric range do not produce carbon monoxide. People with gas operated appliances should be aware like myself. In my house we have a gas stove. Gas clothes dryer. Gas water heaters. Gas furnace for heat during cold months. What can I say we live in Louisana. It's way cheaper than electric. Way cheaper so extra caution and periodical checks on every system should be followed. I've been exposed to low levels of it and let me tell you it's pretty scary. I felt I had contracted Corona virus but I work from home so it couldn't be. Turns out our gas stove can produce small levels of carbon monoxide and little by little accumulate inside the house which is air tight sealed
