Be aware of this silent killer when you travel

Carbon monoxide is a deadly, colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Approximately 170 people in the United States die every year due to carbon monoxide poisoning caused by malfunctioning fuel-burning appliances.

But this can be avoided. Carbon monoxide detectors saves lives. You make sure you have one in your home, why not take one along when you travel? Just pack a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector in your luggage, but remember to remove the batteries first!!

P.S. Wrap it in bubble wrap to prevent damage during transit. Place it on the end table in your hotel room...lower to the floor is better!!
