» desertblue - excellent and important information


I had a case of CO2 poisoning once while sitting in the back of a bus in mexico (long ride). It hurt my head like you have no idea. I was sound enough of mind to move to the front of the bus and hang my head out the window for awhile, and the pain faded after about half an hour.

Yup, people die of CO2 poisoning all the time. In fact, we just had some deaths here in Seattle after the recent storm that left us with no power for awhile...people using generators incorrectly and such.sad

Thanks for posing this important information. It's one of those reminders you can never hear too much.
