ALERT – When Shoveling Out Your Car, Do The The Tailpipe FIRST
You’ve probably never thought about it. But every year, dozens of people die from this during the winter.
The culprit is none other than carbon monoxide. How?
Carbon monoxide has been called the “silent killer,” as it is a colorless, odorless, tasteless — and toxic – gas that causes people to lose consciousness in minutes.
The threat of carbon monoxide poisoning is real. You can’t see, smell, or taste the gas but it could kill.
Before starting your vehicle after the snow stops, be sure to clear off the exhaust area, even if you think there is no snow in the tailpipe.
Although you might not see it, there could be snow blocking the tailpipe, causing the toxic fumes to remain inside the vehicle.
