however. Between times he was

he was given to attacks of light

stagger.
Occasionally, he .blacked out

Is Insidious
Heay carbon monoxide poison
ing is plain to anyone. The vic
tim, if not dead when found, is
in a coma. But low-grade poison
ing can be chronic and it is in
sidious, producing contradictory
symptoms which can baffle. They
argued against the widely held
view that "carbon monoxide is
quickly eliminated from the body
by ordinary breathing of uicon
taminated air: '
They noted that American pub
lic health authorities were "be
coming increasingly aware that
chronic carbon monoxide poison
ing is frequently encountered."
They reported the case of Ihe
cop to the scholarly New Eng
land Journal of Medicine which
remarked editorially that "the
disease is probably widespread
although not commonly recogniz
ed." For that reason, it added,
the report "is both timely and
provocative.
