Carbon monoxide poisoning in children?


is it possible for a child (18 mths) to be the only person in a home of 4 to get carbon monoxide poisoning? or is usually everyone effected?

not my child, just curious

Children are far more subceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning than adults, simply because their bodies are smaller. The same goes for any substance, which is why we don't give adult doses of medicine to children.

I don't want to sound arrogant when i say this, but you should really be asking a doctor that kind of question if you are worried about your own health including the childs.
