In faster words, I might have been exposed to 15 - 30 seconds of garage CO to turn it off from at worst, 5 minutes of running.

I haven't passed out or had any trouble breathing. Will I be fine?

You'll be alright besides the minor loss of ~30 IQ points.

>>8785983
CO is not dangerous, CO2 is though.

>>8786004
Is this really true? Did it do that much damage?

>>8785977
CO poisons you by binding tightly with hemoglobin thereby displacing the oxygen. If you just expose yourself to air, then the oxygen will eventually displace the CO. And the hemoglobin itself will eventually be recycled along with the erythrocytes that contain in within a month.

tl;dr if you didn't suffocate immediately you'll be fine

>it's been days
then you're fucking fine you wimp
CO poisoning symptoms would show up in hours at the latest, not days

>>8786027
But I went straight inside after opening the garage for minutes then I took off in my car with the window opening for a lil bit

I certainly didn't much fresh oxygen after the whole thing.

>>8786039
No delayed symptoms for people who didn't get pure oxygen?

>>8786047
if you didn't get immediate poisoning symptoms you don't need oxygen treatment

>>8786047
is it too late to fix this? I feel like if any CO got into me, it's done it's damage maybe. I have been feeling quite tired but I'm not sure if that's due to my stress or dehydration and I've always been lazy slow and sad so I'm not sure

Should I do any tests?

>>8786054
I went the day feeling slow but that might have been due to my 3 hours of sleep. Also the next day my feet and legs started to sleep for a minute but I'm not sure if that's related or just me not moving that much in my life.

>>8786060
Also I replied to myself because I had another question for >>8786039

>>8786064
>>8786060
you're fine

You should make preparations just in case, it doesn`t hurt. Symptoms could be delayed for up to a week in some cases.

>>8785977
Plz take more care anon. Be thoughtful. Become wise. Resources are finite.

>>8786019
seems like you dont have much to begin with so i dont think you need to worry

If i remember right, newer cars don't even emmit enough CO to commit suicide. So i think there won't be any complications and if you did not pass out or something, i assume there was not much carbonmonoxide bound to your Hemoglobin, so, no problem, relax.

>>8786220
Well, me again, if the motor was cold, the catalytic converter might not have worked properly but this does not change the fact that you would have felt serious symptoms.

>>8786012
This is backwards. CO2 can asphyxiate you, yes, but CO will give you lung damage too.

>>8786012
"Carbon monoxide inhalation, such as that from a car exhaust and the smoke's emission from a lighted cigarette: carbon monoxide has a higher affinity than oxygen to the hemoglobin in the blood's red blood corpuscles, bonding with it tenaciously, and, in the process, displacing oxygen and preventing the blood from transporting oxygen around the body"-Wikipedia

>>8786259
When does CO get out of me ? Could there be damage even if it's all out????

>>8786199
What's the safety mark for when I know I'm perfectly fine? A month?

>decide to end my neetdom and virginity
>lead a hose from the exhaust to inside the car
>get inside and fire it up
>~10 minutes later the stench is unbearable and I leave because it's clearly not going to kill me anymore than some other nasty eyewatering smell

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a meme. As a matter of fact after that ordeal i'm convinced all that bullshit about toxic pollutions and so on is so titanically exaggerated that it's essentially a bogeyman for normalfaggots.

Take it easy, if you didn't even have a headache or feel lethargic you're fine. Just get some air. You'd need concentrations of > 1600 ppm to be seriously hurt.

>>8786330
So uh, how long was that?

Did you go to the doctor and get pure oxygen?

Did you really breathe CO?

Are you okay now? Is there any problems? Do you feel slower and have issues?

>>8786332
>if you didn't even have a headache or feel lethargic

But I kind of did

I'm scared guys I really am

>>8786507
You had three hours of sleep and are suffering from a panic attack. Just go outside take deep breaths and try to calm down. I do the same shit all the time, you just need to keep repeating the facts to yourself and taking deep calming breaths.
The half life of carbon monixide in the blood is 3 to 4 hours. After a few days there is no risk.

>>8785977
You are being a hypochondriac right now.
>15 - 30 seconds of garage CO
For fuck's sake anon. You are FINE. I can sympathise (I stress out anytime I e.g. bump my head on a cupboard door) but try to be rational here. You don't lose brain cells because of some brief fucking exhaust fumes in your garage. You don't have blood poisoning, you don't need any god damn oxygen therapy. It's not worth thinking twice about, never mind stressing over it for days.

>>8786060
>if any CO got into me, it's done it's damage
There's always some in the air (0.2ppm typical, 9ppm over 8h period allowed by ASHRAE, your home CO alarm probably doesn't activate until 80ppm reached for hours...). It's not an instant death poison which you can't allow to touch you; its danger is a function of concentration and time.

Google tells me a cold 1990's car running in a garage for 2 minutes would produce 500ppm. Even at 800ppm it would be 45mins before you would even notice "Dizziness" or "nausea" from CO.

Hope this helps. Stop worrying about it, there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

>>8786866
but it was running for minutes :(

>>8785977

>Modern SUV
>Am I a pussy?

Yes, you're a pussy.

>>8788490
And? You breathed a moderately high concentration of CO for a short period, then retreated to a location with normal air (your home), and then left for a ventilated area (your open-windowed car), and proceeded to another area with normal air (your workplace). You apparently don't even have any symptoms that don't correlate with sleep deprivation. There is absolutely no problem here.

>>8788490
And you were breathing for seconds. Fucking chill.

Your car has a catalytic converter in the exhaust line, that reduced the amount of CO by 80% compared to cars without. In your garage was a higher concentration of CO2, stinky fumes and some CO. But not enough to hurt you from that little exposure.

Jesus, chicken little.

okay thanks

also i worked out after it (I'm an indoor tennis instructor)

>>8785977
You seem to have neurosis. Don't think that much about it, modern SUVs are for cucks who wants to save the ecosystem and nowadays cars are full of green shit.

>>8789161
>catalytic converter

but my car had an orange thing of a catalytic converter symbol so must have not been working!!!!!

Anon, I too suffer from health anxiety.
Once I left a gas stove on for ~3 hours and thought I was a goner because the flame wasn't completely blue. I'm constantly overthinking things and worrying about stupid things I do (like breathing in hot air from the dryer or oven). It's no way to live. You are fine and you will be fine. I would be panicking too, for days after the fact. Your anxiety about it is giving you symptoms (like the numbness etc) and it's a slippery slope. Sorry I sound like a total faggot but I can sense that desperation to be sure you'll be ok in your posts and it reminds me of how I get. Think about how many people survive house fires or regularly heat up their car in their garage and are exposed to that regularly. Your body is strong and if you convince yourself you are weak you will become weak, if you think it did brain damage you will feel slower.
