The Shocking Facts On Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of poisoning deaths and poisoning trauma on the planet. It should not be a surprise considering sources for carbon monoxide are everywhere. Anything that burns is a potential source.
There are two main types of carbon monoxide poisoning: many lower level carbon monoxide intoxications and single poisoning.
The hidden issue of carbon monoxide exposure
Carbon monoxide (CO) is known for its danger and health effects it creates while it remains in the body. Never the less; as problematic, and much less known, is the potential for terrible damage that can cause or worsen a range of health problems. {Carbon monoxide} is commonly referenced as the "great imitator" because symptoms and effects mimic a wide number of everyday health concerns. Because of this, CO poisoning is regularly mis-diagnosed.
A good number of experts believe that for every case of poisoning correctly diagnosed in a hospital environment, there are 10 to 25 cases that are improperly diagnosed. Critically, an even greater number don't have the opportunity to be diagnosed in a emergency room setting.
As a result, the vast majority of people exposed to CO do not even know that they have in fact, had CO poisoning - yet they could go on to suffer from a range of health problems.
Many appear to make a full recovery however, an unknown but significant proportion experience a range of ongoing health concerns, usually without knowing that carbon monoxide toxicity is the problem.
The symptoms and additional effects of CO damage can be apparent or they may be subtle. Never-the-less, CO damage leaves its mark in a number of ways.
Possible ongoing symptoms from carbon monoxide damage
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning can lead to a long list of ongoing symptoms including Alzheimer type symptoms, perplexing behaviours, brain fog, chronic exhaustion, confusion, depression, difficulty organizing, easily overwhelmed, Fibromyalgia type symptoms, unexplained hair thinning, headaches, titinitus, impulsivity, Irregular heart rhythm, Joint pain, memory problems, problems with mood stability, multiple chemical sensitivities, Multiple Sclerosis type symptoms, multi sensory sensitivities, muscle twitches, panic, Parkinson like symptoms, physically weak, difficulity concentrating, problems with body temperature (especially hands/feet), rages (and/or levels of anger), reduced bladder control, word finding difficulty, reduced capacity for stimulus.
There is ample material about carbon monoxide danger while a person is being exposed however there is a serious lack of material about the genuine affect of CO poisoning on survivors and the public.
The potential affects from CO related injury
Often carbon monoxide survivors and the people around them never realize that it is the symptoms and "after effects" of carbon monoxide poisoning that have altered their health and their way of being.
For people poisoned by a number of lower level exposures, it is a very important discovery to suddenly understand that an uninvited intruder has been affecting their life - in some cases for a number of years.
The symptoms and effects while raised levels of carbon monoxide are in the body can be small but can also be problematic - causing widespread damage - impacting the brain, heart, nervous system, endocrine system, and organs - resulting in mild or not-so-mild changes to behavior, functioning, and levels of health.
Similar to any substantial health issue, the ongoing impact can affect the ongoing functioning, work, finances, relationships and more than just the victim.
Locating help and proper treatment of carbon monoxide related symptoms for additional health issues related to the CO poisoning can be exceedingly frustrating for the injured. The medical establishment has held the position that prognosis for recovery are not good and little can be done to help when a victim experiences further health issues after their poisoning experience.
A carbon monoxide monitor is the most secure line of defence against carbon monoxide related injury
The most secure defense from carbon monoxide is a CO monitor. There are a variety of models on the market such as the Kidde carbon monoxide detector.
Where should you put a carbon monoxide detector?
where in the house should I plug in my carbon monoxide detector?
how far from the furnace should it be?
should it be in between the furnace and bedroom ? how long would carbon monoxide have to leak before it reached my bedroom?
Carbon monoxide is heavier that air so fixing them upstairs or on ceilings are a waste of time.
The stock answer is as per manufacturers instructions. As a guide though you want one per room which has a fossil fuel appliance.
Fix it on the wall approx 3ft from floor level and within 5ft of the appliance.
Depending on the appliance you might not need one. In the UK we have gas fires with Oxgyen Depletion Devices which will turn of the gas fire if there is not enough oxygen. Boilers are also generally 'room sealed' so all oxygen and waste gases are pipe straight outside.
Weather Blog: Winter Hazard Awareness Week (WCCO )
The National Weather Service has deemed this week Winter Hazard Awareness Week
for Minnesota and Wisconsin, and with the first winter weather of the season
in the forecast for some, it's a good time to remind ourselves how to stay
safe from the cold, ice and snow!
