O/T: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
I have been really out of it since the winter, or actually can I say, when I started to use my wood/coal burning stove.
I know we had a mild winter. I would lite my stove and let my cats out on the deck, and the door was opened. I got ventilation that way, and the temp in the house was just getting too high.
Not so, this last month or so. Temps dropped, and I wanted to keep electric bill down, ran that stove all the time. So proud of how I was keeping the electric bill down.
I am not putting down wood/coal, or wood stoves, or pellet stoves. I'm saying my
stove was really old, and there was no ventilation.
I felt like I had the flu for at least the last month or so.
I still have a headache each day. I still have problems breathing. This has gotten so much better since I shut down the stove, got an air purifier, a humidifier, and just going out to breathe fresh air.
So, if I don't seem normal, please excuse me for that.
I also bought a carbon monoxide detector, I would really suggest that for anyone who burns wood in their house.
