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.
