Carbon monoxide (CO) is the silent killer you can't see, taste, feel or smell it, CO can kill you before you are aware it is in your home.
What is it?
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, tasteless poisonous gas which can kill quickly without warning. In the UK about 50 people die from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning and many more are seriously injured. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous as it may exist in your home without you even knowing it as:
- You can't see it
- You can't smell it
- You can't taste it
- You can't feel it
What are the symptoms?
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can be very similar to that of a viral cold, flu or food poisoning. In children the symptoms may be similar to a stomach upset. Symptoms to look out for include:
- Headaches
- Stomach pains
- Sore throat
- Drowsiness
- Nausea
- Tiredness
- Visual problems
Extreme exposure to carbon monoxide can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage and ultimately death. People with respiratory or cardiac problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO.
