Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Some people are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau-
sea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Check for proper ventilation and have heater
