Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can be lethal. Any fuel-burning items in your home (e.g., furnaces, boilers, hot water heaters, etc.) or your car can produce it. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are flu-like and can include headache, dizziness, fatigue and vomiting.

Important tips:
    - Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home.
    - If an alarm goes off, open windows, get everyone out, and call for help.
    - Never use a gas oven for heating.
    - Never leave a car running in a garage.
    - Never burn charcoal indoors or in a garage.
