Don’t let carbon monoxide catch you off guard! This colorless, odorless gas can be deadly. It comes from fuel-burning appliances and vehicle exhaust, often from improperly installed or maintained heating systems.
Symptoms like headache, nausea, and dizziness are often mistaken for the flu. If you feel these, get to fresh air and seek medical help immediately. Always call 911 to report a CO leak or exposure!
Protect your home:
– Get heating appliances checked annually by a professional.
– Install CO detectors on every level, especially near bedrooms. Know the sound!
– NEVER use generators, grills, or camping equipment indoors.
– Avoid using gas appliances for heat.
– Don’t warm vehicles in an enclosed garage.
– Open your fireplace duct when in use.
