So it's the oven/stove. >_< Seems like the furnace/AC tech's detectors were picking up carbon monoxide from the burners that ranged from about 5ppm spiking up to 50-60ppm, and the oven itself is getting values around 200ppm when turned on. WTHIF. Calling in an appliance tech to service that obviously. >_o At least we've got the microwave to use.

The furnace is okay, though, and there's a plumber coming Wednesday am to check the water heater situation and help us set up for a replacement if needed (probably needed, highly likely it's rusted underneath and leaking from that). And now we have a sparkly high-quality carbon monoxide detector that's much better than the hardware store sorts we had (not flaky, sensitive to much lower values, etc).

And _amalthea is very right--I so meant CO and not CO2 earlier. >_> I used to be an intelligent person, I swear!

Oh don't worry about it hun, things like that get mixed up so easily. Just glad that you got the situation figured out and that you are not in danger of CO poisoning or anything! Like I said, I always freak out about these things, even if it doesn't personally affect me.

Totally understandable after what happened to you and your friends--I'm surprised my mother (who lives with us) wasn't more freaked out about it. She, my dad, and my grandparents all once got CO poisoning from a car whose exhaust system had gone really bad. They all had headaches, and she near passed out from it. Though I think she was more worried for the cats (who all seem totally fine).

Glad you found out where it's coming from, hon. <3
