Part Four – What to do When the

Alarm Sounds

Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of

CO poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that

while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disorient-

ed that they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the

building or calling for assistance. Also young children and household

pets may be the first affected. The following symptoms are related to

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with

ALL members of the household:

Mild Exposure: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often

described as "flu-like" symptoms.

Medium Exposure: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting.

Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, brain damage, death.

Become familiar with these common symptoms from CO poisoning.

If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, con-

sult your doctor immediately!
