That was then. I no idea that it remains a long term poison.


CO is not long term cumulative (barring any brain damage caused) - what

It takes a while to make new blood cells to replace the poisoned ones so
it is a cumulative poison that will kill you over a few days if the dose
is high enough (or even quicker at high doses).
