IBFA cares about you and your loved ones!!
We all heard of this CARBON MONOXIDE! Please understand that this:
Colorless: It cannot be seen.
Tasteless: It has no flavor.
Odorless: It has no scent or smell.
Poisonous / Toxic: It causes cellular hypoxia and harms the body by blocking oxygen in the blood.
Invisible Killer / Silent Killer: Common safety and first-responder terms for how easily it goes unnoticed before causing severe harm or death.
EXIST!!! Not only in automobiles, but with furnaces, water heaters, all of your gas appliances.
It is getting cold 🥶 and we want you to be aware. Get your detectors soon!
If you have these symptoms don't ignore them!
• Headache: Often the first and most common sign of acute exposure.
• Dizziness and Weakness: Feeling lightheaded, unsteady, or exhausted.
• Nausea and Vomiting: Upset stomach or general malaise that mimics food poisoning or a viral illness.
• Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing as oxygen decreases.
• Chest Pain: Tightness or pain in the chest, especially for people with heart conditions.
• Confusion and Impaired Judgment: Disorientation, memory difficulty, or trouble concentrating.
• Loss of Consciousness: Fainting, seizures, or coma from high-level exposure.
