I was almost a ghost on Halloween night.

It seems I found a major cause of my inexplicable illness and fatigue that has slowly become worse for more than the past year and spiking in the colder months; slow carbon monoxide poisoning.

Turns out CO from the wood stove was increasingly leaking into the house, most likely over the past couple of years.
Halloween evening I realized things were getting extremely bad and within an hour or two I was rapidly drained of energy with extremely shallow breathing. I knew something was seriously wrong. Before i was about to "nod" off I forced myself to open a window for some fresh cold damp air. The leak was quickly located.

Yep carbon monoxide was leaking into the house, making it difficult to get any oxygen.
Talk about a close call.

And it turns out that it may have been a good thing i didn't go to FF this year. Had i been gone, my dad may have started up the stove that was producing the CO and not noticed it.
