Because This. Hashtag I'mJustSaying.

The following from articles in Wikipedia and the CDC.
alobar, based upon my symptoms whenever I am in your house for longer than an hour, I estimate the CO levels in your house hover between 400-800 ppm.
Cut for length.

dear gods, if this is accurate, alobar, please get your house checked!

it may be that the fire department will check your house for free, the same thing with the gas company if you have natural gas heat/water heater.

if you have an all-electric home, i would wonder where the carbon dioxide leak would come from....

kell, sugar, thank you for being a good concerned friend. *hugs and hugs*

He keeps all the burners on his gas stove lit, 24/7. He's been doing this for a long time, even when he sleeps or leaves the house.
He has nearly all of the symptoms listed in those articles , but attributes them to his lack of supplements.
We just had a big debate about it, and why I don't want to go to his house because I get sick every time.

for cooking, or for heating his place? ugh! with blankets to retain the warmth after turning the device off, he could warm up a bed with an electric bed warmer (I suspect he'd want the power off while he's in bed / touching the bed warmer).

I may be able to dig one up from the family supplies .. but would he use it?

No electric blankets for me! I had a friend get Leukemia from her electric blanket.

Last night I scrutinized my stove. One burner had lots of yellow. I turned it off. Another burner had some yellow, but when I turned it from full down to lo, the yellow went away.

Much better now.

Kelleigh will be loaning me space heaters which will allow me to turn the stove off.

I don't understand the significance of yellow-ness. Yellow stains on a stovetop make me think of tarnished enamel, either because of foo stains, rust, or just being burnt from constant use. Carbon Monoxide has no color, nor do I believe, does its buildup.
If you want me there Tues evening, you need to start airing the place out.
