    Hmmm those are probably designed for houses where there shouldn't be really any CO2. We need a less sensitive CO2 detector.

    We have one built in our bodies. There is numbness and tingling in your feet and hands combined with a percentage who run a migraine out of nowhere. That's about the last warning you will get as you proceed towards coma that precedes death.

    The point of the detector is mainly for when you are sleeping. Fairly good chance your body is not going to alarm you properly to it being suffocated.

    And if it does, and you finally wake up and save yourself. Now you are just like all the other truck drivers out there. Poo'ing in paper bags and leaving them in the parking lot because your brain cells are destroyed and you no longer see any problem with bags of poo and rivers of urine in parking lots.

    Urine is less of a worry to me. When you figure all the herbicides we breath and drink. Urine does not have glyphosates in it. But it is gross.

    Read what I said. It goes to the crux of the issue.

    Co2 detectors work well, the level that triggers a serious alarm is at 25ppm time weighted.
     
    TravR1 Thanks this.

    JJ Keller said it best:

    "Always do everything the same way, always do everything."

    As cheesy as it sounds, if you establish a routine and repeat it in the same way each time, you won't ever forget anything.
     
    tinytim and Highway Sailor Thank this.

    I think you mean CO carbon monoxide, co2 is carbon dioxide they put that in your soda pop.

    Yes, sir. I never took Chemistry. More of a liberal arts guy. Thank you for the correction.

    Happy Driving
