Health questions:Question regarding Cars and carbon monoxide poisoning?

Tag: General Health Care Injuries

Tonight my son was looking for his CD in my car that just so happened to be parked in my attached garage. In order for the CD Eject button to work, you'll to turn the ignition but not necessarily start the engine. He didn't turn it off when he discovered the CD wasn't in there and we later found out that he started the engine. Couple of minutes later, he and his friend left for roller skating using another car (another parent driving).

My car was running in a closed garage (attached to the house) for 2 hours before my husband discovered it. Is my family in danger of carbon monoxide poisoning? I'm willing to leave the garage door open all night but what else needs to be done to keep us safe. Serious answers only please.

Carbon monoxide poising comes about because the blood Hemoglobin irreversible binds with the CO. Thus little O2 intake will cause dizziness, difficulty in breathing, fainting and eventually suffocation. If anyone got intoxicated with the CO that would be the symptoms.
When driving leave the windows down, if you aren't sure the CO is coming into the car. Check a mechanic.

Just open the garage door and some windows in the house in case some of the carbon monoxide got in the house. If you can go outside for an hour or so to let the house air out. If you have an infant I would call the babies doctor to see if he wants to see the child. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are headache, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, confusion and nausea. Also cherry red lips in the last stages. If any of the family are experiencing such symptoms contact medical help or a poison control center to see what they recommend.
