In South Scotland, a family was rushed to the hospital for treatment
after carbon monoxide poisoning from an extinguished barbeque which cause their tent to be filled with the gas.Heating and cooking appliances fueled by coal, wood, oil and gas can
all produce carbon monoxide and exposure could be fatal as the gas
reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen, causing vital organs to
fail. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include tiredness, dizziness,
chest pains and nausea, which can be mistaken for other conditions like
food poisoning or flu.
In your homes, install CO detectors and ensure CO generating activities are done in proper ventilated areas
