46 child carbon monoxide exposure cases reported at Nashville hospital
In Nashville, Tennessee, the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt has treated 46 children for carbon monoxide exposure since Sunday, hospital officials said.
The cases come as many families try to heat their homes during power outages caused by downed powerlines and fallen trees.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas and carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include dizziness, headaches, nausea and confusion.
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, never use generators or grills near open windows or vents, and make sure your battery-powered carbon monoxide detectors are working.
