CAUTIONARY TALE ~ About Candles in Unventilated Rooms

CAUTIONARY TALE ~ Candles in Unventilated Rooms Can Cause Death

RECEIVED THIS TODAY:

A girl passed away last weekend due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

It happened because she lit an aromatherapeutic candle for the night in her bedroom with the air-conditioning on and with all the windows shut.

Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidize, thus forming dangerous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide prevents oxygen absorption in the lungs, resulting in the person dozing off into a state of unconsciousness and eventually death in as little as less than one hour, depending on the room size.

I am sending this e-mail out to all of you so that you will be aware of the lethal danger of lighting aromatherapeutic candles in unventilated rooms.

Please forward this email to all your love ones.

Regards.
