Expert Warns of Blower Risks in Winter

Using blowers and heaters in closed rooms during winter can be dangerous.

These devices use up oxygen and can cause harmful gases like carbon monoxide to build up.

This can make it hard for your body to get the oxygen it needs, especially for your brain and lungs.

You might feel dizzy, tired, or confused.

Some people, like older adults or those with health problems, are more at risk.

To stay safe, keep windows open a little, don't use heaters all the time, and don't seal rooms completely.

It's important to pay attention to how you feel and take breaks to get fresh air.
