Never Light Candles in an AC Room!

@ 10:40 AM (18 months, 5 days ago)
A friend of mine passed away last week due to carbon-monoxide poisoning. It happened when she lighted an aroma therapeutic candle for the night in a room with air-conditioner ON.
Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidize & thus forms dangerous carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting in the person dozing off to a state of unconsciousness & eventually death in less than an hour, depending on the room size.
This post is to make you aware of such danger when lighting aroma therapeutic candles in any unventilated rooms.
