There is something uniquely tragic and terrifying about carbon monoxide poisoning. The way it comes on quietly, without warning. How it alters your reality and changes your behavior. The fact that without a carbon monoxide detector, we can’t smell or taste or see or otherwise sense this poisonous gas. Humans have been dealing with the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning since long before we were a species, and only recently have we developed the skills and knowledge to contend with it. In this episode, we get into the details of carbon monoxide poisoning - why it’s deadly, what symptoms look like, and how we manage cases - before delving into the history of our relationship with the gas. How many ghostly apparitions were actually instances of CO poisoning? What maritime mysteries can be explained by the presence of the gas? And where does carbon monoxide poisoning still remain very much an issue today? Tune in for all the details.
