A member asked:

My daughter in law left gas on pm stove while outside. she noticed when she came back in and immediately turned it off and opened windows. she is 2-1/2 months pregnant. is there a danger of brain or other injury to the fetus from that exposure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries: The odor is added to propane and methane natural gasses to let people know when unburnt gas is in the air. A little bit of propane or methane odor is harmless. Whenever one smells that odor, one just needs to identify the source of the gas odor and decide what to do... such as relight the pilot light, turn off the gas, light the gas and use it, or run away to call 911. In general, no worries.
