carbon monoxide

''Mary and Howard were steaming vegetables in a turkey fryer that was connected to a propane tank. The couple didn't think anything of it as they served dinner to their kids.
As the night wore on Mary said she and her husband both had headaches, so they put the kids to sleep and went to bed.
A few hours later, Mary heard her two-year-old daughter crying. Moments later, she heard a "bloody scream" coming from her five year old son's bedroom.
"I got up and went to him," Mary said. "Then I felt sick, I went to the bathroom to threw up, I don't remember anything after that."
Mary collapsed onto the floor. Howard called 911 and everyone got out of the house." (nbc, full article)
Người mình hay mua thêm lò để kho cá, kho thịt để khỏi hôi nhà. Thường để trong hiên hay ngoài garage, hay nhà kính. Cẩn thận nha! Tốt hơn hết là mua cái alarm báo cháy có luôn carbon monoxide detector. Nhớ hồi mới qua, nhà mình cũng bị gas leak, ai cũng chóng mặt nhức đầu, lã người hết. May là không nhiều nên còn tới bây giờ ngồi đánh đánh gõ gõ nè.
Anh Hai, you'd better put that alarm back. I know it's annoying but you know we cannot take our chances.
