Carbon monoxide poisoning is a silent killer

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious and often fatal condition. It can occur when toxic gases from burning wood or charcoal mix with blood and affect oxygen circulation in the body.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, and loss of consciousness.

If you suspect that you or someone you know may have carbon monoxide poisoning, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.

There are a number of things you can do to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, including:

• Never use a charcoal jiko or other fuel-burning appliance indoors.
• Make sure that all fuel-burning appliances are properly ventilated.
• Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home.
