- On the Monday before Thanksgiving, I had quite the scare. I'm not joking, nor am I trying to be dramatic; it was a very frightening experience. I am very thankful that I am still here today to tell you this story and hopefully make some viewer somewhere aware that it CAN happen to YOU and it can happen very QUICK! Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is NOT to be taken lightly. I never thought much about it (if at all) but this experience changed my thought process forever.

I had been running the heater to deal with the chills . . . anywho thanks for sharing this info , I bet you'll save a life or two
Glad you are doing well. This has happy to many and not all had a positive outcome. Serious business. Take care.
Mark Randall thanks Mark. It was a very startling experience. Glad to be back to normal now. Well, as normal as I guess I can be 😂
I added a CO2 detector to my garage after I started to feel sick from using a kerosene heater while working on my Jeep, all good advise man!
Charles Bourret good call! I’m going to probably get one of those personal CO meters for on my tools/gear when working on jobsites 👍🏻
It’s no joke!!! Glad to here that you’re ok now! It happened to my son. Be safe out there!
Rick Martinez thanks for the kind words! I’m going to get a personal CO meter to keep with me and my gear from now on.
That’s a great idea! Glad to hear you’re ok 👍🏼
HAPPY TRAILS....
Glad you and your coworker are okay. The good Lord looks after us for sure.
Scott Mote absolutely! I’m a firm believer 🙏🏻
How long were you exposed for? I think I was exposed and had tingling experience in my head for over a week. Wasn’t sick, wasn’t nauseous, just has a serious vertigo-like feeling.
Hey Man, I just went through this myself a few days ago, I went to the hospital and mine wasn’t severe but it was considered Acute (11.9%) they hooked me up to Oxygen for 3 hours and let me go home, I’ve had headaches for 3 days now, do you remember still having headaches a couple days after your accident, or were you instantaneously better after being treated? Glad you’re okay man!
yea this is no joke, I was on the same job site and passed out, definitely eye opening.
Oh noooo! Doode! Heal up!!
Carbon monoxide binds to your hemoglobin with a 200 time more affinity than Oxygen. Meaning Carbon monoxide will kick Oxygen to the curb and attach to your blood before oxygen, and even if you managed to get away from the source it takes about 5 hours for you body just to get half of the carbon monoxide out of your system and another 5 hours to get half of that half out. If not treated you could have suffered brain damage or even died. I'm so glad you recognized your symptoms and got help. Stay safe and remember carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless gas and symptoms are very like the flu.
Yup that’s i tell everyone ik and they just laugh but its serious worse if u gone to sleep or was alone
It's definitely not something to joke around with.
It happened to me today... It was serious.... I feel a little better now
Wow
Earlier tonight on my way back from a local takeaway for food, decided to park the car in the garage tonight, engine was still cold so cat converter was still useless at filtering and it was in my 98 Starlet I lowered last week, heard rattling in the back when driving wondered if it was something in the boot of the car or suspension related, parked up, left engine on idk why, opened the boot and looked around for a few minutes and found loose screws and other pieces of metal in the spare wheel well so put them above the boot liner so it won't rattle, soon as I straightened back up when standing I felt the world around me spinning, bear in mind I have a decatted Leon Cupra and i've been fine with it on in the garage before but i've clearly never stood right next to the exhaust looking for something before. Went in to eat my dinner and felt like absolute junk took 2 bites out my chicken korma meal and went nah I need to walk outside, took my dog for an hour long walk and spoke to some co-workers doing deliveries at other takeaways to try pass time, went home still felt like shit, better but still felt light headed and even rn I still feel a little bit light header, a lot better than before though tbh just can't seem to concentrate a lot on the screen might just be cause I'm exhausted too tho tbh, no pun intented. Took some puffs out my inhaler just in case too, boutta head to bed soon we'll see if I wake up ;) lol
