About this blog

I have set up this blog as a convenient way of getting information about carbon monoxide (CO) out there, mainly aimed at other physicians. I'm also adding a 'At A Glance' section, which will try and condense everything I know about CO into one, easy-to-read page!

With depressing regularity, people with sub-lethal exposure to carbon monoxide are wrongly diagnosed as suffering from ‘influenza’, or a ‘viral illness’ or ‘gastroenteritis’. Sometimes, they are sent home to die from their exposure.

Please, let’s try and stop this happening to others in the future.

There's a lot of stuff here, from basic info (usually the older postings) to the latest peer-reviewed published research and studies. Using the category labels on the right is a good way of finding specific information. If you're completely new to CO, try 'The Basics' first!
