Carbon Monoxide Poisonings in the Borderland

By Elsa Valenzuela

Monday, January 22, 2007 - This weekend fire officials responded to six calls of carbon monoxide poisoning, four on Saturday alone. These figures lead them to believe that not everyone is getting the message. Since carbon monoxide is tasteless, odorless and colorless, the only way to know if levels are dangerously high is to buy a detector. You can pick one up at any store like Wal-Mart or Target and they cost anywhere from $20 to $30. Fire officials say it is definitely a good investment to protect your family.
