My Childhood: Carbon MonoxideMy aunt lived several states away with her own family, and we would visit each other a few times a year. In 1999 I was 8 years old and they visited us for a week. That particular day we went out in the evening to eat at a German restaurant that started a fart war between my dad and uncle. I laughed a lot. But when we got home, I noticed a smell I had never smelled before.It was like sweet gasoline mixed with rusty pennies. Very potent, but no one else in the house smelled it. I am so grateful for my mom, who remembered that I am special, and while the men were making fun of our concern, mom forced everyone out of the house and called the fire department, thinking it may be a natural gas leak. They found high levels of carbon monoxide in the home due to a malfunctioning heater, and said if we had stayed in the house that night we all would have died.People like to remind me that it is impossible to smell CO, but I don’t listen to them. This was only the FIRST time I saved my family’s lives with this ability to smell CO, so if I ever smell that sweet sticky scent, I pitch a fit until the problem is found. It has ALWAYS been carbon monoxide. -- source link
