Carbon monoxide questions

I installed gas logs from Procom. The flame is blue and yellow. I always demonstrated to my science students how a bunsen burner is not getting enough air if the flame is yellow. I am afraid this gas logs unit is producing carbon monoxide. How can I be assured it is safe? I don't trust the company to give me that information.

something is making my family sick with flulike symptoms we moved into a 1920 house.we are dizzy,sleepy and tired all the time.They also say we have black mold..What do I do?

something is making my family sick with flulike symptoms we moved into a 1920 house.we are dizzy,sleepy and tired all the time.They also say we have black mold..What do I do?

my neighbour is growing canabis as i can smell it in my house every evening, but between 9am and 9pm my carbon monoxide alarm bleeps but not continiously its like the battery is low but it is working fine when tested.
can this be conected.

Umm...This is great, there are a lot of good questions here, and I see the question I was going to post has already been asked. Is there a place or link for responses?

How long should we wait to re enter a small building after the carbon monoxide has been cleared?

i have recently purchased a co detector. and for last 5 days is showing readings of 10 - 40 PPM. I think Co is coming from Chinese take way below my flat. we have 2 moth old baby .. what shall we do?

i had carbon monoxide poisioning about 6 months ago and my employer did not allow me to get proper treatment. now i am experiencing headaches,not being able to remember things like i use to,stress and now wednesday i was told i had (vertigo). what my question is can these symtoms be caused by the carbon monoxide poisioning?

how long should you wait to go to sleep after being posioned

what does it mean when a little kid passes out from carbon monoxide

My son and I have been poisoned with CO. The problem is he does not believe me. He is living in youth accommodation and only just spoke to me a few days ago. It has been 14 months since he lived at home. I have had hair analysis and mineral therapy which has helped most of my symptoms. Co ruined our life and I live in hope my son comes back to me so I can get him help also. He was once a top student & classical guitarist. He know looks vague and distant. His school grades are very low and he plays violent computer games for hours. Shame on the government hiding him from me when what he is needing is medical attention. Shame on all the adults who do not help him get the medical treatment he deserves.

So you think all these comments are suppose to keep someone from using Carbon Monoxide for suicide? What if chronic debilitating pain is involved such as RA, Sjogrens, Lupus, and Thrombocytopenia? Then what? Autoimmune disorders cant be stopped. Im not suicidal so dont send out a truck for me. Just saying. If I had to choose, Carbon Monoxide is the way I would go. What am I suppose to do since I\'ve been accused of being an addict, and alcoholic and schizophrenic. W
hich I have proven I am none of the above. People who don\'t experience pain are so quick to judge! That\'s enough for reason of suicide!

Can I feel light headed for a days after being exposed to carbon monoxide?

How do I get to view the answers to the questions other people have asked?

What percentage is considered low medium or high?

I wasn\'t told what my ppm was but I was told my blood percentage was.

I believe that my car has been leaking CO and I have been breathing it for 45-90 minutes twice a day daily on my commute for about a month and a half (since I began to use the heat), as I now have multiple sensitivities. Is this due to the CO?

my son had a 9 month exposure to carbon monoxide.

we are searching for answers, struggling with doctors' lack of knowledge. i have found alot of info through google searches. check out mcsrr.org, alot of info (medical) about co poisoning being linked to multiple chemical sensitivity(mcs) and more so multi-sensory sensitivity/hypersensitivity(muses).

there is info there to give your doctor about oxygen therapy to reverse the symptoms, also hundreds of medical article/study links.

we haven't tried oxygen yet, still have to get past the doctors wanting to blame it on anything but the 2000lb elephant in the room(carbon monoxide), they say all in your head, stress from a lost friend, etc.. i say bullcrap. enough already, rule out co first, they don't know anything about it beyond if you happen to be passed out next to the actual source of carbon monoxide, but there can be low level chronic exposures or one or a few stronger exposures that can have medically documented delayed sequelae (symptoms).

anyway i hope this can help with a few answers for so many questions asked here, search your issues with "carbon monoxide poisoning and (put your symptom here, also delayed sequelae)". low level co poisoning as well as acute poisoning can cause the things so many are experiencing, yet symptoms can vary widely from person to person, but also have similar symptoms too obviously.

my son has mcs and muses, often worse at some times than others, the more triggers we experience the worse it can be after. triggers are things, food, smells, sights, sounds, etc that aggravate the way he feels, he shows it in repetitive throat clearing, eyes heavy or blinking, or stomach ache, amongst other things(these things are collectively called tics), most chemicals set him off one way or another, either immediate or delayed, and once set off can take days to wear off as the symptoms wax and wane. food chemicals like sweeteners, preservatives, dyes, etc make him so much worse for 2-5 days after eating.

keep searching, seek and you will find. don't give up, when you feel up to it, give your best efforts to search with the help of google or others and you should stumble upon the good doctors and others who sympathize and are on our side even as they decry their fellow doctors' turning a blind eye/cheek to the symptoms and instead saying it is all in their head or just offering drugs to treat symptoms.

it is possible, with good knowledge, medicine proper can have its place and time, yet we must push for what we know even when those who oppose/obstruct make us feel frustrated and dead-ended.

Best wishes to all

Can carbon monoxide poisoning cause hair loss? I was poisoned last year and have been losing LOTS and LOTS of hair!!!

Is it possible that after 1 week of my hot water heater leaking 600+ PPM I could be affected. I dont know how long it was leaking before my CO detector went off because my windows are always open and there is good airflow

Can I feel light headed for a few days even after being exposed to carbon monoxide?

Get an EEG test and you will see how CO damage causes brain damage that causes all your problems.

It looks like ADD, BIPOLAR, and others and causes every symptom on this site.

Don't see a medical Dr - see a neurologist or physiologist. Medical dr gave me drugs that addicted me and did nothing. The physiologist called the test and in two visits showed my brain damage that is causing my problems.

i was expoed to 300pm for months. Memory attention, speech, vison, uncontroled moods, always angery, learning, reading, insomina, lost friends, lost job, lost my old life, irrated, constant healtg issues.

My situation is unique.Medical providers are not aware of the dangers of carbon dioxide.I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner and spent 32 hours a week seeing children for medication evaluations.

My office measured the size of a jail cell,poorly ventilated,lights were too bright and no windows. When treating children it is not unusual to have as many as 8 people in that closet. I asked for a bigger office earlier with no response.

After working there for 2 yrs I was reported for being too sleepy and was sent home. I was like a frog put in cold water and the temp slowly rises and he boils to death. I had to do my own research to find out the problem. I have been patronized and treated condescendingly.

I want to know when I do a search for carbon dioxide why does it come up mostly carbon monoxide sites? Is the end result the same? How do I get medical providers to take me seriously and treat me? Has anyone with dioxide poisoning found help? How can the poisoning be proven months later? I know this is long but I am running out of avenues.

We just found out today that our Granddaughter and her child has been exposed to carbon monoxide for approx. 1 year. The baby is now 2 - what long term effects will this have on him? Presently he doesn't talk, acts like a maniac when he has been the the Mother's home and yet you take him out of the home atmosphere and he acts normal.

Could some of these factors be contributed to due to CMP? What can we expect happening to him in the future being exposed so long?

The Fire Dept. found out today what is making everyone in the home sick and shut the furnace down. We are fortunate to have them still with us, but would like to know what the future holds for the both of them.

They have had vomiting all flu like symptoms, asthma attacks, sore throats and chest congestion, and it just keeps on being passed all around the family etc.

What are the long term effects on children being exposed to CMP for a year.

How is the brain of a 2 yr Toddler effected by CMP long term after living in it for 1 year without them realizing the house and furnace was a problem.

Mother and child have been to a doctors many times and have had the flu on a continuous basis along with asthma, ear infections.

my sons stayed with my friend last night and she used her gas fire which she never uses and today her and my sons were not well , my eldist son has been complaining of sore head,chest pains,sore when breathing and short of breath. what should i do?

Has any one ever experienced blood in your urine or stool, but no UTI or blood found in your bladder by a doctor by a cathader? I am wondering if this could be a side affect?

Recently, a friend came over and smelled \"gas\". We discovered 2 low level leaks on our water heater. It has been 4 days, I have mild nausea, stiff neck, i feel achy, very irritable. My concern, however, is my children... my son, age 2 and my daughter, age 1. Are there signs that their development is being effected? How do children process these changes, if they experience them? Is there a recovery or treatment program for babies and children? I am so concerned.This website has been very helpful, but it also has scared the you-know-what outta me.

MY girlfriend and myself had recently had CO poisining, more her than me, she is ok now, but her body is aching all over and we have been told that this a CO after affect, is this true?

How can a person safely navigate in our environment after co exposure?

Isn't car exhaust at red lights and stop signs a hazard for a person already weakened by a previous exposure? How can one take a walk anywhere where there isn't car exhaust, buses, smoke from chimneys, barbecues, lawn care/snow removal equipment, and other machinery? I have tried to hold my breath and cover my face and/or run past the unavoidable car that starts up as I'm passing it, for example.

But then I may cause more problems for myself because I finally have to take a large breath and if I haven't created sufficient space between myself and the emission, I end up taking in a large amount of the exhaust.

I wonder if the constant exposure from environmental sources is worsening my problem. I ask because recently, I'd felt some of my symptoms seemed to improve (high blood pressure and heart rate, internal jitters, etc.) but new ones have shown up such as chills, back pain, acid reflux...most recently, in the last 2 weeks since feeling a little better I have increased my activities to include more time outdoors completing various chores.

I now experience: dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, mind fog, nausea, and ongoing chest pain, increased insomnia, joint pain, and today low blood pressure and lithurgy. So I came here to find some encouragement. Thank you for this site.

The medical profession seem to be working for the pharmaceutical industry and are frustrated if they can't apply some kind of drug for one of my symptoms. I've been asked by my doctors if I would like my symptoms to go away???? I say not until the problem creating the symptoms is addressed. That, apparently, is a novel idea among the healthcare industry! Who knew?

If not for this site, I would feel isolated and severely depressed. Must I stay indoors with my detectors be safe in the world?

How long do I need to wait until I can donate blood after being poisoned with carbon monoxide?

Does an MRI show the damage to the brain that Carbon Monoxide poisoning has done?

On Friday, Jan. 7, 2011 my daughter was rushed to the ER at Saginaw Convent Hospital. She was diagosned with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, she was there for over 8 hrs being treated, with very high levels in her blood. She rents a duplex, her boyfriend notified the landlord immediately to remove the other tenent from the duplex and told them what was going on. That same day, the landlord had the furnace people over there and said the furnace was faulty, and they cut some type of hole in the furnace, consumer energy did not get there until Saturday evening and found no traces of carbon monoxide. How fast does it dissolve, or how do you clear your home of this? By cutting the hole in the furnace, could that have stopped the leak and the air be cleared by the time consumers got there? She had been sick for 4 days prior to going in, so she has missed a week of work, probably over $10,000.00 in medical bills coming in, and they were told they could not return to their home until Friday, until a new furnace was installed. Since consumers found no carbon monoxide readings the landlord is saying they are not liable for anything? I am furious, she almost died! Does anyone know of any resources, lawyers, or rights that can give me advice on this situation? I believe the landlord is responsible for her medical bills, lack of wages, and their displacement from their home for a week is a substanstial financial amount? Can anyone help me with this, or have any advice?

Every time I warm up my car, a lot of smoke builds up inside my garage. Most people have garages that are separated from their actual house, but mine is connected. I keep telling my roommates that it`s dangerous to run a car inside the garage, but they never believe me. If I am right what should I do? Should I air out my entire house? Or, should I call poison control? I\'ve moved into this house 3 years ago, and they have been doing it ever since.

I was told by a Dr. that one of my medications caused me to shallow breathe and because of shallow breathing my Carbon monoxide level was up when they took my blood gas levels. I was wondering how this could happen?

can u take any pain releivers for a cbon monoxide headache

can carbon monoxide cause bi polar after years of exposure

I have an alarm in my house, and came hone from work to find it going off so I gathered my pets and went to a friends house until my heater was maintenenced. However, for about two weeks before that, I was tired, very out of it, occasionally dizzy and had constant stomach pain. The day before my alarm went off I was convinced I was coming down with the flu- I was so out of it that I even baked cookies in a muffin tin. This was all before my alarm went off, and yet fits symptoms of carbon monoxide poisining. The minute my heater was fixed, my symptoms cleared up except for feeling tired and out of it, but I also have add and always have had low energy in the winter time, so go through periods of time when I feel like that anyway. Is it likely that I was and still am affected by exposure to levels of carbon monoxide that were too low to make my alarm to go off?

I read some safety guidelines and info on carbon monoxide poisoning and I wanted to know if I am at risk.

The past few months (throughout summer up unitl now) my car has burned alot of oil. It would smoke in the front because of the leaking oil hitting the exhuast manifold in the front. I have smelt a burning smell plenty of times from this. If i walk by my car, I smell it.

Recently, I have used to heat when it is cold and could smell the burning smell coming in with the heat. Sometimes I could even smell it if my windows were down and I was stoppped at a light. I just do not know if carbon monixide is coming from the oil burning?!

I know that carbon monoxide comes from the exhaust fumes but I really hope that this smell from the burning oil is not giving off dangerous chemicals that are killing my brain cells. I have not noticed this smell to make me feel sick but I still want to know if I have been exposed to carbon monoxide! Thank you!

To David from Aussie; yeah man Co can definately make you;re crohns worse; in fact thats how I got my Co; that f----n crohns screwed my life and the Co has just made my life unbearable. Im trying to get a hbot chamber built here in NZ. But Im pretty screwed and its taking forever. post you;re email if you wish and we can talk. Karl

Could you please add this new/revised CO surviver site to your list of links? This is a new inter-active forum which is checked dailey for new posts. We will provide a prompt response to questions or refer posters to other CO sources if we don't know the answer.

I'm not trying to spam - just to make everyone aware of additional CO support.

Thank-you!

Here is site: http://cosurvivors.ning.com/

how do you know how long CO. stays in your system after being exposed to 600+ PPM in a really open breezy home and once i closed the back door where the hot water heater was located in a small laundry room the CO. DECTOR WENT OFF AT 600-900 ppm and days prior to that i was near the area and caught myself falling asleep or passing out while doing dishes,what kept me from hitting the floor was that stumbling so i went and sat down [remember that this was after sleeping 9-10 hours the night before& only being awake for 2 hours in the morning when this accord. the next day i went to the DR. AND HE SWICHED MY MEDICATIONS AND THE FOLLING DAY THE DECTOR WENT OFF,AND MY HOT WATER HEATER WAS RED TAGED FOR LEAKING 600-900 PPM. NOW IM SLEEP WALKING AND WAS CHARGED WITH DOMESTIC VOILENCE AND TALKING VERY RUDLY TO A POLICE OFFICER,THAT IS NOT MY STYLE AND THE OFFICER EVEN ASKED WHYI WAS ACTING SO IRADIC

Is it safe to exercise? I feel pain in my chest area along with exhaustion after a few tasks at home. Exercise strengthens the heart but can I feel safe when I have these symptoms. I want to and miss working out.

Does anyone have legal issues due to the extent of their medical / surviving hardships from this dreadful exposure? I have an extensive history of 'low level' exposure with long term medical problems. I was exposed for 2 years and although I am back to work and doing better, I still have alot of health problems. I have brain damage and 'mild' heart damage. Does anyone have information regarding legal issues?

Although 3% may be within normal limits, if a child is left unattended but still breathing for several hours after exposure and is subsequently put on oxygen, by the time of death, could the blood levels have reduced to 3%? If so and this is within normal limits, how do you proove the death was from carbon monoxide poisoning? What other things do you look for? Is there an expert on this subject that I could ask?

Survived a fire in Jan 2005. Pronounced dead twice and brain dead once. Spent 8 hrs two different times ( total 16 hrs) in hyperberic chamber. Not a day goes by that I don't think about long term effects. Was in coma for a week. At the time it was believed extreme co survivors would have major heart attack within 5 years. It has been 4 and 1/2. Last 6 mths constantly waiting for the attack to occur. Are there any updated statistics that would dispell this?

My son is getting out of the hospital (he was in for 1-1/2 weeks) and now he is going to a treatment facility. How will smoking cigarettes affect his after he has had carbon monoxide poisoning? He had very high levels and they put him in the hyper-baric chamber right away.

This is a wonderful, highly informative site!

I wish it had a message board, so we all could share our experiences with one another.

Since no message board is available, I am posting my e-mail for those who would like to share what happened to them, symptoms, treatments that worked, etc.

I will answer promptly any and all e-mails I receive. If there is enough interest, maybe we could even form a disscusion/support group like the ones they have on yahoo and other sites.

Please e-mail me at:

I look forward to hearing from you.

I was exposed to very high levels (200 ppm) of carbon monoxide over one and a half years on a daily basis. Other than the usual symptoms, I developed a chronic (never stops) runny nose and cough. Doctors have no solution for this which has been ongoing for 4 years now and it is destroying my life. Any suggestions for a cure.

HI I WORK IN A WAREHOUSE THAT HAS TWO PROPANE FORKLIFTS RUNNING FOR ABOUT 7 HOURS A DAY EACH, THERE ARE ONLY TWO ROLLER DOORS ALLOWING AIR IN, IS THIS DANGEROUS?

I have found that many of my symptoms of CO poisoning mimic the symptoms of ADDH. Will treatment as for ADDH help any?

Long term side effects - what are they. Can migraines start 3 months after poisoning?

1) Can a low level of CO exposure poison my blood to the extent that it has been poisoned?

2) I still feel symptoms (nausea, light headedness, headaches). How long will it take for them to go away if carbon monoxide poisoning truly is my problem?

3) Is there another not-so-obvious source of carbon monoxide being in my bloodstream? I am a nonsmoker, live in a small city and the levels in our home were small. Nobody else in my family is experiencing symptoms. How it is possible that I have been the only one affected? Could I be getting poisoned somewhere else.

If consumer CO alarms detect high levels, how can I test for low carbon monoxide levels?

Can you really recover and what long term health effects does carbon monoxide have on you?

Why is my thinking all screwed up?
I cant think straight. I am continually tired and my brain feels like mush. I have no normal desires or wants and I feel confused about simple things like what to eat. I have strange thoughts, confusion problems, memory issues, etc.

How do I get my memory back?
What treatment options are there for those who have Chronic CO Poisoning?

Can a doctor do any specific tests after co poisoning? If so what?

Can brain swelling/encephalopathies continue to occur from time to time for years after severe CO poisoning? I think this is happening to me.

Why did my personality change so dramatically???

Can symptoms of carbon monoxide mimic bipolar disorder???

Are there health problems that I will continue to have a result of the CO poisoning?

Can CO poisoning make other conditions worse; i.e Crohns disease.

Is stem cell therapy of any use?

How about repeated hyperbaric treatment?

Can there be a continual decline in mental functioning even years after poisoning?

I was exposed to carbon monoxide and diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning about a month and a half ago.

I am experiencing symptoms including vision problems,
short-term memory loss, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. I just saw my doctor about it and she believes these are after affects from carbon monoxide poisoning. She took a blood test and is going to research this more and get back with me soon with the test results and determine what to do next.

It is scary when I feel this way. The symptoms tend to get better with the more rest I get. I am believing and hoping for some kind of treatment that can help the recovery process!

What's next...

I worked at a job which would be considered high risk. MRI shows white mass. Thought I had MS - but confirmed not. Was misdiagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, vision problem - lights and sunlight are terrible for me, problems thinking, especially with multi-tasking - memory, gait issue, etc.

What can I do about it?

Will my body restore brain cells that were damaged?

Is there some new information that could help improve my situation?

What will the long term effects be? Are there other symptoms?

The long term effects on infants?

If poisoning was due to the negligence of an apartment complex, what are they responsible for in the future?

What would the cost of possible treatment for 3 family members be?

What carbon monoxide numbers are high and what is low-moderate?

The CO alarms usually go off at 70 ppm, sometimes even at 100 ppm. All of our family have been exposed for past 3 months and we are very concerned.

Why am I having such a hard time to get the arterial venous blood gas testing to confirm or not confirm chronic carbon monoxide poisoning.

My family doctor says is possible that I can still get testing.

Why is it that doctors, or at least every doctor I have seen, seems to know almost nothing about the after effects and long term health issues?

I would describe the doctors I have seen as well meaning but completely useless. Some were quite condescending and dismissive.

Are there any test to find out if you have been effected by carbon monoxide?

Does this group ever meet ? It would be nice to meet other survivors. Its scarey not knowing.

I had high blood gas levels in 2000 and did several months of oxygen therapy. I have MCS and CFS as well as slowly progressing left sided partial paralysis for which we can find no other cause. I have had several more low level exposures and am awaiting blood gas test results.

If my blood levels are not elevated will oxygen still help? Is there still a chance I can reverse the paralysis in that
case? I don't want to end up in a wheelchair!

what kind of doctor is best at treating this problem?

what damage if any would 30 parts per million do?

I've been a truck driver for 4 yrs. We used a diesel powered apu to heat/cool the cab of truck at night and I believe I was exposed for about 4 months. I kept feeling sick and couldn't understand why I felt groggy after 8 hours sleep, then the dizziness and nausea got horrible, and I mean REALLY bad where I felt the world was being thrown off it's axis. I turned in that truck.

I was never treated or diagnosed (the company just put me a hotel for 2 days while they tried to fix what we thought was a leak in the apu). I've never felt fully recovered. Is there a way to test for permanent damage?

I suspect that I was driving a car with a carbon monoxide leak. I plan to plug a household carbon monoxide tester into a power strip extension chord, put it in the car, and shut the door.

Is there a better method to test a car for CO emissions? Do I need proof of exposure before a doctor will scan for CO exposure?

I see depression come and go over the years - sometimes all kinds of crisis states then back to normal for long periods of time...

Seasonal? meaning months that are good - excessive talking/binge eating/acute anxiety/isolation/loss touch with surroundings when fighting - they had the accident as a child at 10 or so...the boiler ... the whole family found passed out... could it be cumulative over the years?

Claims everything broke down eight years ago - can the brain swell at times and then recede? agmydala seems to be effected... not bipolar - mental illness medication not helpful - the depression overwhelming but they function/work when necessary - very unpredictable behavior at times/ extreme emotionalism.. extremely intelligent also

IF A PERSON WAS HOSPITALIZED AFTER CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. WOULD THE URINE HAVE AN ODOR TO IT RELATED TO THE TOXINS INGESTED?

Is the long term damage progressive? Should I expect symptoms to get worse or do they stay the same? Is this as bad as it gets?

My husband (and the whole family... but him the worst) was poisoned by a faulty furnace 20 years ago. It turned out to be long term CO exposure. 20 years later he is steadily going downhill with symptoms of dementia and behavioral issues....

Is there truly any kind of treatment or at least a support group for the rest of us? Who love and want to help, but are at our wits end?

Where did I get the high CO count in my blood work if my furnace and stove check out?

My husband was exposed to carbon monoxide. The exposure was over a 4 to 5 month period about 6 months ago.

His personality is completely altered, from a sweet, caring, friendly person to an angry, verbally abusive, untrusting person. Is it likely that after treatment he will return to his old personality?

Last winter I had the fire department come and test for carbon monoxide in our home. My son, daughter and I were all sick all winter. They found nothing.

Now the heater is back on and we are all getting sick again. (We home school and are home all day.) Could the fire department have been wrong? We also have a carbon monoxide detector but it has not gone off.

I have carbon monoxide symptoms, my children to a lesser degree. My husband is not here all day. I am insisting it is the heating system, I think he thinks I am crazy. I do not know what to do about it.

Why are so many health practitioners unaware of such a common poison and its subtle effects?

How will the poisoning have affected my unborn baby?

What is the increased mortality rate after acute, extreme CO exposure after 1 year, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years?

Can you get carbon monoxide poisoning from a outside oil boiler?

I was DEFINITLY exposed to Carbon Minoxide yesterday. I had almost all the symtons you can have - worse than anyone else here.

I do not know anything about all of the things i was reading so i did not go to the hospital or doctors.

What should i do now?

I was poisoned 30 years ago. Could it still be affecting my brain?

Can someone with epilepsy be affected more than someone without epilepsy?

I was exposed to carbon monoxide in 2005. It was well documented, and was verified on a medical reports, and I am still being denied my disability pension.

How can a survivor like me, make the decision makers understand the long term impacts? How can I prove my case?

If you have smoke fill your home from burnt food does the (after a few days) lingering smell of smoke throughout the house contain carbon monoxide?

As a CO victim I feel like someone who has the plague. Consultants and doctors cannot get rid of me quick enough. Why is this?

What if any, other medical issues can we expect in the future because we were poisoned?

How many parts per million is unsafe?

How long in weeks after being poisoned will it take to feel better and back to my normal self. I had a new boiler installed at the beginning of the month as the old one was condemned.

But I still dont feel one hundred per cent. What can I do?

What are the long term effects? My husband has a very bad case of memory loss.

He is a survivor of a CO poisoning accident. I am looking for answers....

My mom has old unvented gas heater that is on the floor in her bathroom. It is at least 50 years old and has not been cleaned in years - emits a yellow flame up to 4 feet long.

She took down the CO detector I bought her because it goes off!!!!!!!! She is very stubborn, independent, has lived alone for 40 years.

Every night she cranks up the heater in her bathroom, gets the temp up to about 85 or 90 and then showers. Afterwards she is in there for at least 15 minutes drying off, etc. I am at the end of my rope as she will not listen to me. What can I do?

Will I ever be the same?

Why is carbon monoxide detector legislation not enacted everywhere as smoke detector legislation has been?

How long does it take to reach a CO level of 86&0x37; in the blood stream?

My husband had carbon monoxide poisoning when he was 16 or 17. He is now 32 and suffering from memory loss and seems to have many other problems that could be related to it. How and where can he seek treatment?

Our school kitchen was closed due to carbon monoxide being detected. Someone from the education board came down and ripped down the notice and switched gas back on and said it was ok for us to work with the windows open.

We are saying we have poor ventilation when the cookers are on and need new and bigger exhaust systems.

Can the education people do this? Our team in our kitchen are not happy about this and are we being put at risk.

Could damage from carbon monoxide poisoning worsen over a period of 20 years or more?

I am guessing that linking damage to carbon monoxide after this long probably isn't possible, but can I find out if I have damage somehow?

I am having some problems and I just want to try and find out why.

What kind of symptoms do you experience while recovering?

How do get better?
