Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the fireplace may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Have fireplace serviced. Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include
pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those
under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

may be present even though no odor exists.

of this fireplace.
