But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals.

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
