If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning, consult your doctor immediately! CO poisoning can
be determined by a simple blood test called a carboxy-
haemoglobin test. Severe cases may require treatment in a
hyperbaric chamber. Remember, young children and
household pets may be the first effected.
