A member asked:
I'm at a chalet. we have a wood burner stove to get heat. i've read they are dangerous. i've got a sore throat now and scared i have carbon monoxide ?

Unlikely: Sore throat is not a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning. Chest tightness, nausea, headache, tiredness, dizziness, and confusion are the symptoms to look out for. Carbon monoxide is odorless and not visible. If there is ongoing concern a carbon monoxide detector would be helpful, go to the smoke detector section of a home supply store.

I have a bit of a sore throat and my skin feels hot (as if I applied deep heat all over it). I am a bit paranoid about covid-19. Should I get tested or are my symptoms coherent with something else?
