Carbon monoxide has no color, smell, or visible form. Hence the nickname, The Silent Killer.
(Sounds like a CSI episode huh?)
Unfortunately, the symptoms of Carbon Monoxide are also remarkably similar to the common flu.
So how can you tell the difference?
If you feel like you have the flu, but you don’t have a temperature, there’s a chance it’s carbon monoxide related.
Have you been cooking a lot lately? Is your furnace running? Do you have a gas fireplace?
If you answered yes, then you might be feeling the onset of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Now, we’re not medical experts nor can we give you any advice on the matter. So if you suspect carbon monoxide, first, turn off all your gas appliances and immediately call your doctor.
Then call your local gas provider to come give you a free inspection.
