The INDEPENDENT, December 13, 2007 Carbon monoxide gas can kill From page 1 garage, • Do not run a car or truck in- side an attached garage, even if the door is open, • Never burn anything in a stove or fireplace that isn’t vented to the outside, and • Never heat your house with a gas oven. The most common symp- toms of carbon monoxide poi- soning are headache, dizzi- ness, weakness, nausea, vom- iting, chest pain ad confusion. However, people who are sleeping or who have been drinking alcohol can die from poisoning before even having symptoms. 10 people died of uninten- tional carbon monoxide poison- ing following Hurricanes Rita and Katrina in the Gulf Coast.
