A friend in our group passed away last week due to carbon-monoxide poisoning.
It happened when she lighted an aroma theraputic candle for the night in a room with air-conditioner on.
Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidize & thus forms dangerous carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting in the person dozing off to a state of unconsciousness & eventually death in less than an hour, depending on the room size..
