Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. It has no taste or smell and is invisible, which makes it incredibly difficult to detect with your natural senses alone.
Unfortunately, the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are a little like flu. Most people suffering from it think they have just caught a bug, so they often don't seek help.
Carbon monoxide is everywhere. It comes from your car exhaust, your boiler, your refrigerator and your gas fire, to name a few. These fumes are usually expelled harmlessly by good ventilation and by chimneys and the flue on your boiler. But when these malfunction, fumes can escape into your home with potentially fatal results.
