Help CO Method Risks

[dontsaveher]

I'm wondering if there are any sort of health risks involved with the charcoal method like if the CO levels are not high enough would it cause brain damage? Last thing I would want is to fail and not be able to attempt again…

Yes, if the concentration isn't high enough or the environment isn't properly sealed.

yes, you are depriving your brain from oxygen. there are risks

make sure to do multiple attempts measuring the CO with a device before the final attempt

Survivors of severe, acute CO poisoning can develop long-term neurologic sequelae (e.g., impairments in memory, concentration, and speech, as well as depression and parkinsonism).4 These sequelae may arise immediately after CO poisoning or may be delayed (occurring 2–21 days after CO poisoning).4

Okay well that is terrifying…
Considering other methods for now but will have to make sure to do extensive research and testing if I go with the CO method

This is the method I've chosen. It works well, but it still requires thorough testing. Good luck!
