Remember that carbon monoxide is produced any time a fuel is burned. The gas has no odor and is invisible. Put at least one carbon monoxide detector in your home if you use a wood stove, kerosene heater, or any other fuel burning device. Get out immediately if you suspect carbon monoxide in your home. Pregnant women, babies, and the elderly are especially at risk to exposure.
Prevention is the best treatment for poisoning.
Take action to protect your family from kerosene, lamp oils, and carbon monoxide.
