Carbon Monoxide’s Deceptive Danger

Symptoms Can Be Misleading

Many of the symptoms of carbon monoxide can also be misleading. Dizziness, headaches and fatigue may seem like common symptoms of the cold or flu. They can also be signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. How can you tell the difference? One way to determine if you’re sick or actually experiencing poisoning is to go outside into fresh air. If you begin to feel better after a few minutes, it’s likely that there’s a carbon monoxide leak in your home. However, if you or your family members feel ill, you should contact emergency services right away.
