CO is a dangerous gas...this inhaled will cause you to loose control and effect your brain functions...
In a lab I used to handle this gas,,,,if it gets too high it will floor you so fast you won't remember anything..

That last line there is the ABSOLUTE truth. I had suffered CO poisoning due to a water heater malfunction in my house about 13 years ago, didn't know anything was wrong aside from just simply getting sleepy ... I was saved because my mom walked into the place after her work and saw me falling asleep, and the cat near death ... wow, reality check.
It's nothing to smile at - I wound up with the world's worst headache which lasted two days (I have a propensity to migraine), and was so sick I couldn't hold anything down that night - and I was lucky. I survived.
It sneaks up on you. You never see it coming.
