If you suspect you or someone is affected, look at their nails. Cyanosis,
bluing of nailbeds and lips, is a sign.


Interestingly this is absolutely untrue.

CO poisioning exhibits itself as nail beds, lips, etc as being
bright cherry red.

Carboxyhemolglogin is every bit as red as the oxygenated
variety - even more so.

In fact this is a strong indicator of CO exposure.

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose
and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology
has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence,
and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years
.. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints,
and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been
as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
