Are there any physical symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?

---

We all know that CO is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, which makes it a silent killer observably indistinguishable from regular air. However, despite all of its stealth, I was wondering if a person unknowingly inhaling carbon monoxide would notice any physical symptoms as it built up in their body. For example, does one experience hallucinations, light-headedness, or any symptoms in general?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Lethargy, and a cherry red complexion to the skin. Confusion, disorientation and death. CO replaces oxygen in the red blood cells and that starves the brain of what it needs to operate .  (+ info)

how do you know if you have stomach virus or food poisoning?

---

I just been having a lot of gas and been in the bathroom so many times and lost appetite. Overall i don't know what the difference is between stomach virus or food poisoning or what not but i just want my stomach to feel better. and its the second day that it has been like this. please help me... i want to feel better...
A stomach virus is passed along by the fecal-oral (I know it sounds gross) route. In other words, if someone who has the virus- including yourself- doesn't wash their hands properly after using the bathroom, traces of feces containing the virus can be picked up on someone else's hands. If that person then carries the virus to his own mouth, he can get the infection.

Food poisoning is caused by eating food that's been contaminated. Typically, this is from poor food handling practices, for example cutting up vegetables on a surface that was used for raw chicken. Ground beef is a common source of food poisoning; it has to be handled carefully to avoid spreading germs from the raw meat and it has to be cooked all the way through to kill the germs. Never eat ground beef that isn't well done. Many people have died from eating tainted ground beef.

Raw fruits and vegetables sometimes cause sickness because they can be contaminated by fecal material in the fields where they're grown or by the workers who pick and process them.

You can get food poisoning from eating food that's been left unrefrigerated for too long. Even in the fridge, bacteria can grow, so leftovers should be frozen or eaten within a couple of days.

Take a look at how you handle food in your own kitchen. Use bleach to sterilize any surface that's touched germy food, like raw meat. Wash your hands well after handling raw food, and don't use the same utensils on cooked food that you've used on raw food. To prevent the spread of stomach viruses in your home, clean all your doorknobs and faucet handles with bleach, and wash your hands frequently.

To get yourself feeling better now, drink plenty of fluids like water, juice, and soup. It's very important not to get dehydrated. Don't take medicine to stop your diarrhea because this will just keep the germs inside your intestines where they can do more damage. Get a lot of rest.

If you start pooping blood, or if you feel much worse or don't get better within a few days, see a doctor.  (+ info)

Natural Gas Poisoning?

---

Last night we installed a wanter heater and the gas shutoff valve's joint leaked over night. We sprayed water on it and it bubbled which meant there was a little bit of gas seaping out all night. Its fixed now but dis morning i had an upset stomach and right now another person in the house feels sick...Are these short term effects or do we need to go to a doctor...is it curable? Thanks
First things first, you should airate your house and get out all the gas that may still be in the air. Try to get some fresh air and see if you feel better the next day. If not then you should talk to a doctor. Our gas stove leaked for a few hours and had me feeling woozy with a light head, but Im not sure if an overnight exposure would just make the effects last longer or actually do damage.  (+ info)

Gas Poisoning from food?

---

Hi, I was cooking dinner earlier, when I thought it was ready, I took it out of our gas oven to check on it, found that it wasn't quite done, so put it back in, when I opened the door, I noticed the flames were out. I don't know how long it has been like it, as our door swings shut, so it could have been blown out just seconds before by the door slamming, but if it had been longer, could my food have been poisoned and made me ill after eating?
No. The food is fine. The gas is only poisonous when you breathe it into your lungs.  (+ info)

Do I have the stomach flu or food poisoning?

---

I ate a hamburger and about 30 mins later my stomach started to cramp up and it felt really horrid. It came in waves. At first i thought it was gas, so i went to sleep. i woke up in the middle of the night because it got so painful i couldnt sleep. I drank some water, then puked my guts out. I went back to sleep, because i felt better. now i have a fever, body ache, and an upset stomach. is this the flu or food poisoning?
Food poisening is caused by toxins that are in the food which are ingested. A "stomach flu" is caused by bacteria or virus that colonize in your GI tract. You have food poisening. I can say this for certain because the symptoms appeared so quickly. There is not a good treatment for this. It will pass, stay hydrated. You are not contagous.  (+ info)

16 weeks pregnant and stomach cramps/gas pains every evening?

---

Four nights ago I started getting stomach cramps and feeling the need to use the bathroom. The first night I had semi loose bowel movement but the past 3 nights the pain has not been accompanied by LBM, just gas and the feeling of needing to go bathroom. It only happens around dinner time, sometimes before and sometimes after eating.
I'm not sure if I have some kind of food poisoning or if this is pregnancy related. Anyone have something like this before? Know what it might be?
I am also 16 weeks and can relate entirely to what you are describing. I had a loose BM a few days ago...and it was so strange to me because of how HARD it has been to go since I got pregnant..lol. Been feeling very crampyish and slightly sore on the bottom of my belly...feel the need to use the restroom all the time. I think it must be relatively normal. I went to the doctor yesterday and they didn't seem concenred in the least. and the baby was perfectly healthy and active. My best guess is that is has something to with stretching and pulling of all the muscles down there. Not to mention, the baby is and uterus are a substantial size now to be putting pressure on things they weren't before.  (+ info)

What do i have??!!!!! How can i know if i have the stomach flu or food poisoning?

---

Have body ache, chills, wake up in sweats, no fever, no diarrehea, stomach is in cramps and had some gas, Cant eat anything thinking of food makes me naucious, and have had nausea and headache over the night. Currently just drinking water and eating saltines but lower back aches and still feel cold with some goosebumps.
That sounds more like flu than food poisoning. Flu has chills, aches, etc. while food poisoning is characterized by stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting. Visit both sites, compare the symptoms to yours, it should help you understand both diseases a little better.  (+ info)

What is a safe time limit to be beside a gas stove with no fan turned on?

---

Carbon-monoxide poisoning question!
gas stoves dont make enough carbon monoxide for you to worry about. its a straight flame unlike an engine.  (+ info)

URGENT. ITS ABOUT GAS POISONING?

---

i left the gas hob on today for about 10 mins without a flame by mistake... i was hovering around the area, when i realized i turned it off and re lit it in order to cook. keeping in mind that it was only 10 mins and my dad sprayed frebeeze in the house could i have gas poisioning, i was fine and now a few hours later i have a bit of a stomach upset.

IM WORRIED....

ANSWER THIS QUESTION PLEASEE
You're going to be alright, but next time, you may want to open a window for a few minutes (frebreeze isn't going to do anything but mask the smell).  (+ info)

URGENT. PLEASE OPEN THIS. ITS ABOUT THE DEADLY GAS POISONING?

---

today I set out to cook some pasta but being the clumsy person i am i forgot the light the hob (it was left unlit for 10 mins) i thought nothing of it and proceeded to cook the pasta and relight it .... however hours later i had a stomache upset. before this stomache upset however i searched to see if leaving the gas hob on without a flame wastes more gas.... off the point. but then it went on about how it was soooo dangerous. i thought nothing of it.... but as i said i got a stomache upset and feel a bit tired (but then again thats probably because i have posted this question up 4 times and literally waited for an answer)



COULD I HAVE IT


I FEEL ILL AND WORRIED
The symptoms of gas poisoning are nausea and vomiting along with a really bad headache. Since you mention neither of these you ase perfectly safe with all but some slight symptoms like being repetitious. Please try to get back to some normal part of living and to being yourself again too. Good luck and God Bless  (+ info)
