She thought I was kidding about carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Heating and Air Conditioning specialist told me to call an ambulance and then the fire corporation

I was talking to an Heating and Air Conditioning specialist who was a buddy of my dad’s. I told him my friend and I had a gas heating system that was getting older, and asked what the probability of our getting carbon monoxide in our household was. She looked at me like there was something wrong with me. She told me that in order to have carbon monoxide poison in the house, she had to have a cracked heat exchanger. As long as the heat exchanger was in fantastic condition, there was little likelihood of there being carbon monoxide. I asked him what had to happen for formaldehyde to get into the house. She told me the heat exchanger was where all the off gasses usually came from, but you could get formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from an oil heater, a coal heater, or any heating source under the right conditions. I asked him if she had ever seen someone with carbon monoxide poisoning. She told me she had seen one once, and then she turned her full attention on me. She asked why I had so numerous questions, and I asked him to follow me, but my neighbor’s door wasn’t totally shut, and she was laying in her chair. The Heating and Air Conditioning specialist told me to call an ambulance and then the fire corporation. She went in and dragged the girl outside. Her face was an strange shade of red, and the Heating and Air Conditioning specialist told me that is what someone with carbon monoxide poisoning looks like. Luckily, our buddy is okay, despite the fact that she needed a new heating system for the house.
