Carbon Monoxide Checks

Carbon monoxide, also known as the silent killer, is an odorless and colorless gas produced by stoves, lanterns, burning charcoal and wood, as well as gas ranges and heating systems. Many people mistake the symptoms of CO poisoning for coming down with the flu.

The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

Headache

Call 9-1-1 immediately.
