Back in 2019, me and my family had an extremely old furnace, and it ended up releasing carbon monoxide into the air for several months, and I would always get sick to the point I started getting in trouble with my school for missing over 30 days in a year. Even back then my family wasn't aware of what carbon monoxide really was in a household, so when the fire detectors went off during those months we didn't think too much of it. Then one night me and my parents were asleep, but the carbon monoxide detectors went off, then the fire detectors went off, so we immediately called 911, and it was the middle of winter and we couldn't sleep in our house so we just slept in our car all night. I actually had one of the hospital crews tell me that I was exposed way longer than anyone else, and that night I could've died if the detectors didn't go off. It's such an eerie and grim feeling to know when you might've died. Carbon monoxide is so overlooked, so I hope everyone will be aware in the future when it comes to this stuff :> Also thank your detectors, they could save your own life someday
Yeah carbon monoxide poisoning is very scary because carbon monoxide is quiet and isn’t visible by the naked eye so some people just die because of one vent that isn’t working
@@landenman8708 It really is. Back in the late 90’s we had a carbon monoxide leak in my house. I was only 11 at the time. I remember having to go outside and the fire department had to come in a take care of the issue. Scary stuff
some (one from an old house I lived in) has a different amount/type of beeps depending on what's wrong, but it really should just have a voice to say what's wrong
@@ChampionMahina like, imagine going to sleep, and then waking up to the smoke detector yelling *smoke* instead of just beeping at you. That’s would be a lot more useful

A few seconds in I was like “It’s gonna be carbon monoxide isn’t it.” And I was right. But seriously, carbon monoxide is probably one of the scariest things ever. It can kill you before you realize that something is wrong.
I learned about carbon monoxide poisoning because before I was born my grandparents almost died of monoxide poisoning so I was taught to always check for it.
I also thought of that a few seconds too. One time before school the fire alarm went off so my mom went to go check it a few minutes in. Luckily we weren’t too late and no one got hurt

@@shgurr I'm glad that you're back and are doing better mentally, Shannon!

You're in danger if your fire alarm is doubling as a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide doesn't rise. You need to get a proper carbon monoxide detector.
Also, some fire alarms have different beeps for fire vs monoxide, and the "activated" one usually has the indicator light blinking. This is helpful to diagnose repeated or false alarms. It's important to be familiar with safety equipment! So glad everyone was okay in this case
Yeah... regularly checking around your house for weirdness is a must. Once I was visiting my mother for the summer and I spontaneously started to itch and break out into hives like crazy. Our initial suspicion was that I had somehow developed an allergy to polyester and avoiding stuff made of it definitely reduced the intensity of the symptoms. Unfortunately, I was out of state (and poor) so I couldn't see a doctor about my issues until I returned home. Later I found out my mom's appartment had such a mold problem that her and her roommate had to leave after discovering it. Meaning that a few weeks exposure to bad mold made me develop a temporary polyester allergy; who knows how it could have been effecting my mom and her roommate who were living there for months/years.
I actually know a family that died from carbon monoxide poisoning. I'm very happy you guys figured out the problem before it got worse, that can be scary.
Her smoke detector must have been detecting very high amounts of carbon monoxide, as that gas doesnt rise. The CO meters should be at counter top / table height. For one on the ceiling to go off, the room must have been thick with carbon monoxide
Calling it, it’s a video about carbon monoxide poisoning. That shits an invisible killer. Edit: CALLED IT! For real though you guys got crazy lucky. Carbon Monoxide can do some even crazier stuff, like make you hallucinate. I’m glad you all figured out the problem and got it fixed, or that could’ve gotten really ugly really fast.
Yup, don't wanna scare anyone but atleast where I live, It isn't super rare to see cases where people have a headache before going to bed and the next morning their found dead in their beds.
can’t believe me and my family weren’t the only ones with this problem, late 2021 was when it hit us to but sadly never found out where it came from just kinda went away after a week, happy to hear you guys all made it safely that stuff is dangerous
I've lived most of my life in a house built in 1923. Yep, you guessed it. Tons of lead paint, problems with our pipes, the basement was never finished, recently the doorknob lock broke and we had to take the old locking mechanism out, etc. (Basically, when the doorknob broke, we were stuck out in the hot weather until I managed to get us in by a side door- almost got stung by a wasp because there was a old was nest there that still had one in it. It's been greaaat.)
What freaked me out the most was not just how they nearly died of monoxide. But the fact that all the problems in her house are nearly identical to the ones in my home. The corroded Porch, the cracked window, the buster dishwasher and garbage disposal. We even had a similar problem with dryer not to long ago, only difference was it wasn’t life threatening. Great video nonetheless!
Usually the dishwasher not working is related to the garbage disposal since the drain for the washer is fed right into that. Fixing a dish washer usually involves cleaning all the tubes witch get really messy.
yea my mom is paranoid about that crap. if she ever leaves gas going she IMMEDIATELY wakes us up and takes us outside the house edit: so ya already knew the signs
Honestly you should be proud of this story. Most young homeowners now don't know about these things because no one taught them any better. People need to look into the functions and maintenance on their home units and appliances to be aware of these things.
I watched literally a minute in and I immediately knew--THE EVIL GAS LEAK When my mom was pregnant with me, our house had a gas leak. My whole family was tired and sick. The only way we knew what was happening was when my mom opened a window and my brother immediately perked up. The doctors had to fly my mom to a hospital to make sure she (and me) didn’t get too much brain damage. We ended up being okay, but I am definitely a little stupid from it :)))
I was literally screaming "LEAVE THE HOUSE!!! LEAVE IT YOU DIMBASSES!!! IT'S CARBON MONOXIDE!!" through the entire video. Unburnt gas can do massive and irreversible damage to your nervous system and respiratory system. I'm beyond happy you guys didn't use that machine too often.
That’s why you have 2 alarms, separate carbon dioxide and monoxide detectors. The standard “fire alarm” goes on the ceiling and the monoxide detector goes near the floor. You can’t mistake them because the different gasses float and sink respectively. If the monoxide detector is on the CEILING and going off, you’re kinda screwed there, because it has filled up the ENTIRE room, and any room below it.
Sadly most places don’t have carbon monoxide detector, it’s just built in with the fire alarm. Which causes so much confusion. Honestly places need to be built with both more often, and have them have two separate alarm sounds so people know
The reason why it managed to dectect the carbon monoxide is because the ventilation system was picking it up and distributing it through the house. Without this constant uptake and dilution in the rest of the "normal air", the concentration of CO could had increased "down there" to seriously dangerous levels.
Hmm, does it sink? A quick google search indicates that carbon monoxide has a density of 1.14 kg/m^3 whereas air generally has a density of 1.292 kg/m^3. Very close, but this would indicate carbon monoxide floats very slightly in air. Other online sources indicate that it tends to disperse through a room rather than rising or falling.
@@kristinberthiaume7634 Precisely. While it would be EVEN WORSE if it was even slightly heavier than "air" (the key "element" here: oxygen); just by being "close" to the average density means it does neither: a) Deposit in a condensed "layer" on the very bottom (people usually breathe at almost 2 meters up). b) Slowly "escape" into the enviroment like hydrogen. -> It just "mixed" with the average air and stay "there" (so without the ventilation system diluting it, by the time it would reach "detectable" levels for the sensors it would be much more concentrated near its origin).
And get separate detectors for CO and smoke. Carbon monoxide gas doesnt rise, so a ceiling smoke detector that doubles as a CO detector is next to useless. That's why it went off intermittently. The room would need to be bursting with CO for a ceiling detector to register the gas. CO meters are to be installed at table height
I knew it was carbon monoxide as soon as the video started. This shit is really crazy, could have gone waaaaaay worse, you guys got really lucky. Thank God btw, stay safe Shgurr!
@@thetoythief8940 yup, she knew she didnt have a fire going on, and she did know the smoke detectors also checked for Carbon monoxide, so idfk why she didnt EVACUATE everybody, including herself out the house.
@@JeckaIsAnotherSpecies Where do you sleep? Where do you go? This is a particularly big issue especially in Countries like America where you are charged to hell and back. Legitimately it is safer for you to gamble on life/death then choose other alternatives at times.
I'm gonna say it. You draw hands the best out of all the popular animation youtubers. Most people opt for blobs 99.9% of the time. You do a really good job, also I can see a huge improvement in many areas with your art after animation school. Keep doing a excellent job!!! 💝💝💝
The moment you said you're friend was sick my first thought was "maybe carbon monoxide poising?" Then the second you said you all had headaches, I thought "definitely carbon monoxide poisoning". That stuff is no joke and everyone should be aware of it. Hopefully this video does exactly that!
Here in Florida, propane dryers are really uncommon. At the start of the video, especially when you first mentioned the black air filter, my first thought was black mold. Glad you found the problem and got it fixed before anything REALLY terrible happened!
I knew exactly where the story was going before you even started. I’ve read too many stories of people unexpectedly dying from carbon monoxide poisoning and it’s one of those extreme fears that I have. So thank you for bringing that up before bed 😩
Your best defense against stuff like this is knowing when it's happening and whether or not it should be fixed. Shugrr has survived ignoring this problem for a week. Surely you'll be fine if you address it immediately.
it sucks that you had to go through this, I'm glad it's over tho!, I'm excited to see a new video on your channel, as I'm sure a lot of people are!!, the art in this is really nice and cute, very well picked colours for everything aswell!!!
Glad you guys are ok! I could list many things we've come across but here's just a few. A few years back we lived in a small apartment and below us was a bar. There were two apartments and we lived in the right one for a while then changed to the other side lol. Sorry I can't quite remember the years. We ended up having to move after I graduated cuz the landlord was raising the rent. Shortly after they found out there was carbon monoxide in there. I don't know for how long but I do know it was there some time while we lived there so yeah lol. Idk why but if feel a like any time after we move from a place shit gets fixed. Every time. Now we live in a much crappier apartment where our landlord, which lives right next to us, doesn't fix anything and mold grows on the walls of my room. No matter how much it's been scrubbed it always grows back. And that's just one of couple of things that need fixing here..
Home ownership can be both a nightmare and something amazing. But damn, faulty equipment or issues with home can be terrifying. I’m glad you guys figured out the issues and I hope there’s no long lasting damage or anything
I'm so glad you're back shgurr! And even better that the carbon monoxide situation was handled. I hope you realize how inspirational you are to all of us animators and the community as a whole
As soon as I heard the smoke detector and the filter thing alarm bells went off, carbon monoxide is a very silent and scary killer. This is a very terrifying scenario, I’m glad you guys are ok!!
The second you said “the smoke detector went off randomly” i knew this was going towards carbon monoxide, but i’d never heard of it coming from the dryer. Glad you’re healthy, monoxide is terrifying.
Holy hell, that was a most definitely a scary situation. CO poisoning is a silent and insidious killer, and I’m glad you were able to solve the problem before things got worse
Shgurr made a great point, if something seems off-DON'T WAIT! When i used to work for an appliance installation company the first thing i would do is check for a rotten egg smell near/in the house. No, you can't smell carbon monoxide, but it was for gas leaks.
Ceiling mounted detectors are inadequate for carbon monoxide or dioxide detection. CO meters should be installed around 4 feet off the ground as CO gas doesnt rise. Tell a friend.
@@TheDramacist Yeah I know this. When they all started getting sick, I already knew it was CO2 poisoning, but I was pointing out when the entire chat started spamming it. But it is important to ha e CO meters in every home like you stated.
You should also get the vents cleaned they can apparently build up dust and clog up and cause similar issues so(I have heard) it's common to get them cleaned every two years to avoid dust build up
The second you mentioned that it was causing the alarms to go off, and you got headaches and dizzy spells, I assumed it was Carbon Monoxide. Thank you 9-1-1 shows for teaching me about poisonous gasses. Glad you were all okay!
Thank you for this. I never considered if the dryer in my rental house is electric or gas. It’s electric I just checked. It vents into the garage as the garage was an add on. We deal with the humidity by cracking open the garage door. But I panicked for a minute. Even though I’m safe, I’m glad that I have new safety knowledge. Had mine been gas, that could have been a huge issue.
Happy y'all are alive. CO poisoning is serious because, as you would know, it's colourless and odorless so you don't know it's there usually until it's too late. Stoked you figured it out and got it fixed, stay safe everyone ✌
When I heard the symptoms I was like "oh they must be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning" I really hope they're going to be okay (it can get to a point where your body can't tell the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and you'll essentially slowly be poisoned to death get a carbon monoxide detector in your home even if it's a little pricey it's worth it for the Peace of mind)
For the people who own such smoke detectors: Some of them beep once randomly when they request a test phase. You have to push the main (and probably only) button on it to give it a testing phase, to check if it still works. Other smoke alarms beep to signify their battery running low (though most modern smoke detectors work for years on end) ⚠️⚠️⚠️❤️❤️❤️
Omg that’s happened to me too, I got so sick, I had to be hospitalized for 3 to 4 weeks. My whole body almost failed on me, but they took very good care of me in the hospital, and I am healthy now😊👍🏻
My mom and I used to live with some friends of hers in a house that we loathingly call a "drafty old barn". It was an old Victorian house where we lived for *four years*. We lived in a college student neighborhood, so most of the houses in the area were controlled by slumlords who could get away with just about anything, bc the college students weren't very likely to call them out on it. Now, we live in the Midwest (of the United States), so winters were *cold*. In addition, we also get lake effect snow. The heating in this house was pathetic to say the least. We had to have it fixed a minimum of every year. And we have since learned that the vent that was in my room WASN'T EVEN CONNECTED TO THE HEATER! And we were there in the middle of a polar vortex one winter! I ended up having to sleep in my mom's room which was the attic, bc it had its own seperate heater that actually worked! There was a fireplace in the living room, so you'd think we could've used that for heat, right? Wrong! The slumlord couldn't even be bothered to hire someone to keep the chimney clean, so we weren't allowed to use the fireplace! The summers were insanely hot, and before any southerners try to get out my tail about how it's hotter there, remember, we live relatively near a lake, close enough that we get lake effect snow, meaning we also get humidity in the summers so bad you can practically drink the air. And that old barn didn't have any central air conditioning! We sweltered. And you know how I said, "drafty old barn"? That's because the drafts were nuts! You couldn't come within five feet of a door during the winter without feeling a chill! And the showerhead was pathetic, with terrible water pressure. It was so hard to get a good shower. And there was no dishwasher. It was all handwashing dishes. When we finally left the dang place, the landlord tried to sue us for damages that weren't our fault! Anyone who lives in Kalamazoo Michigan, beware the name Lukeman. He will only bring trouble.
I had to look up what kind of dryer would cause that, because I had never heard of it. Seems like it's only for gas powered dryers (which is practically unheard of here (Sweden) because generally all our appliances run on electricity.) So I learned something new today.
While going to high school, my Dad, my Mom, and my brother, in that order, were getting sick and I could tell it was going to happen to me next, which it did. As it turned out, the gasket on the fridge failed which caused the food inside to go bad. It's been so long, but I'm glad to see you're back and have hopefully been doing alright since this happened.
This is why most smoke detectors nowadays have different beep patterns for fire and CO and usually also say which one they're detecting after the beeps
I like watching videos like these to be educated and safe, because in the (distant future when I am older) I plan on moving into an apartment w my 3 bsfs and we all agree to be very educated (as much as we can) before we all do move in.
When my grandma was still a kid, she was sleeping in her room with her sibling and then they woke up and started to feel really nauseated and had a really bad headache, after I while they started to feel drowsy again. Luckily there parents found out a tad bit sooner that there was a gas leak. They got the kids out and fixed it. After that my grandma got really paranoid about using gas in the house so she switched all fully to electric
Shgurr: We didn't know what was going on. Me: CO2 leak. Shgurr: Headaches and feeling sick... Me: CO2 LEAK. Shgurr: The fire alarm doubles as a carbon monoxide detector. Me: That's dangerous. CO DOESNT rise. Carbon monoxide or dioxide detectors should be at table height, ideally positioned adjacent to devices that can emit CO/CO2 like boilers, furnaces, dryers and grills. Please get specific CO/CO2 meters and position them correctly.
Thank you for reminding me to replace the battery in my detector. Especially since it's winter and starting to get down to 10-15 degrees out already and ive got the furnace running. Always good to have a CO and smoke detector working.
Also keep a check on your dryer since it can collect dust inside the area that collects dust trap if it has one, so if you smell slight burning you may need to get it checked.
Also the burning smell is because that piled up dust can catch on fire so either be sure to keep it clean or have extinguisher or have the fire department on speed dial. My family got lucky that when need get a part repaired the repair guy found this out and clean it up for us.
ive heard so many stories of this happening, especially with the smoke alarm. I was immediately like 'its carbon monoxide poisoning." its extremely dangerous, and its great to know the signs :] tysm for making this video
Huh, ironically I worked in HVAC for a while and you would be _shocked_ how many people *don't* check their dryers, don't clean their lint trap, or have no idea when to change vent filters _if at all._ (^～^;)ゞ As soon as you mentioned the dryer and the heat build-up I thought it was a lint trap issue. Not quite, but glad you have the luxury of _breating_ again. I hope you all had a full recovery. (^ ^;)ゝ
I'm glad that things turned out well in the end for you! ALSO here's a big warning to everyone please don't leave a space heater on unattended..just please don't, they can lead to fires..
Before finishing this video I knew exactly what it was. I almost lost my husband (way before we moved in together and got married) and I lost two of my friends early last year (brothers) due to carbon monoxide poisoning. When my husband and I started getting on and off headaches last month I got paranoid and saw that the carbon monoxide detector's batteries died. Thankfully it didn't go off (besides the few "testing" beeps it will do when you put the batteries in) and there was a storm the next day. After that passed the headaches were gone. For a moment though I almost passed out when I was trying to put the batteries in because I was so scared that I was going to die like my friends did. Check your carbon monoxide detector's batteries frequently. If you don't have one, report it because every house is required to have one.
while listening to this i knew it would either be carbon monoxide or black mold based off of the symptoms. it's really scary how fast and secretly something like this can happen
Back in 2019, me and my family had an extremely old furnace, and it ended up releasing carbon monoxide into the air for several months, and I would always get sick to the point I started getting in trouble with my school for missing over 30 days in a year.

Pretty proud of myself for instantly being able to identify Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Makes me feel safer in case it should happen in my future home
they taught me all the symptoms in driver's ed! i think its a law here in minnesota now that it has to be taught in driver's ed
@@rachelnelson3765 I only know because of all the stories I've heard about "How I was slowly dying to carbon monoxide poisoning." lol
yea my mom is paranoid about that crap. if she ever leaves gas going she IMMEDIATELY wakes us up and takes us outside the house
edit: so ya already knew the signs
The issue is... you can't identify it while sleeping, until you don't wake up.
Honestly you should be proud of this story. Most young homeowners now don't know about these things because no one taught them any better. People need to look into the functions and maintenance on their home units and appliances to be aware of these things.
I watched literally a minute in and I immediately knew--THE EVIL GAS LEAK
When my mom was pregnant with me, our house had a gas leak. My whole family was tired and sick. The only way we knew what was happening was when my mom opened a window and my brother immediately perked up. The doctors had to fly my mom to a hospital to make sure she (and me) didn’t get too much brain damage. We ended up being okay, but I am definitely a little stupid from it :)))

I was literally screaming "LEAVE THE HOUSE!!! LEAVE IT YOU DIMBASSES!!! IT'S CARBON MONOXIDE!!" through the entire video. Unburnt gas can do massive and irreversible damage to your nervous system and respiratory system. I'm beyond happy you guys didn't use that machine too often.
That’s why you have 2 alarms, separate carbon dioxide and monoxide detectors. The standard “fire alarm” goes on the ceiling and the monoxide detector goes near the floor. You can’t mistake them because the different gasses float and sink respectively. If the monoxide detector is on the CEILING and going off, you’re kinda screwed there, because it has filled up the ENTIRE room, and any room below it.
Oh I didn't know know what it did and what it was I had a smoke detector but I didn't know what a carbon monoxide detector was.
Sadly most places don’t have carbon monoxide detector, it’s just built in with the fire alarm. Which causes so much confusion. Honestly places need to be built with both more often, and have them have two separate alarm sounds so people know
The reason why it managed to dectect the carbon monoxide is because the ventilation system was picking it up and distributing it through the house.
Without this constant uptake and dilution in the rest of the "normal air", the concentration of CO could had increased "down there" to seriously dangerous levels.
Hmm, does it sink? A quick google search indicates that carbon monoxide has a density of 1.14 kg/m^3 whereas air generally has a density of 1.292 kg/m^3. Very close, but this would indicate carbon monoxide floats very slightly in air. Other online sources indicate that it tends to disperse through a room rather than rising or falling.
@@kristinberthiaume7634 Precisely.
While it would be EVEN WORSE if it was even slightly heavier than "air" (the key "element" here: oxygen); just by being "close" to the average density means it does neither:
a) Deposit in a condensed "layer" on the very bottom (people usually breathe at almost 2 meters up).
b) Slowly "escape" into the enviroment like hydrogen.
-> It just "mixed" with the average air and stay "there" (so without the ventilation system diluting it, by the time it would reach "detectable" levels for the sensors it would be much more concentrated near its origin).

One of my roommates from BYUI lost his entire family to a gas leak in his house.
Seriously, install and trust your alarms. They will save your life.
And get separate detectors for CO and smoke. Carbon monoxide gas doesnt rise, so a ceiling smoke detector that doubles as a CO detector is next to useless. That's why it went off intermittently. The room would need to be bursting with CO for a ceiling detector to register the gas.
CO meters are to be installed at table height
Your art style has slowly moved close to a Scott Pilgrim-esque style. NICE
I thought the same thing!!
I actually think it looks really good!
6:53 WAIT THATS MY ART! TANKS FOR USING IT!! ^^
OMG WHICH ONE!
ITS SO CUTE!
SO CUTE!!

THATS SO CUTE OMG
How do you animate so well lol
Why is animating so hard ;-;
Your style is so cute i love it
Smoke alarm: There's a fire!
Shgurr: No there's not-
Smoke alarm: *DID I STUTTER?*
Also, lovin' the slightly new art style!! :D
DID I ST-t-t-t-t-t-TUTTER?!
Yes, yes you did. You stuttered.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that Shugr came back after all this time to give us some exceptionally good advice?
I knew it was carbon monoxide as soon as the video started.
This shit is really crazy, could have gone waaaaaay worse, you guys got really lucky.
Thank God btw, stay safe Shgurr!
As soon i heard the alarm goes off every time I knew it
@@thetoythief8940 yup, she knew she didnt have a fire going on, and she did know the smoke detectors also checked for Carbon monoxide, so idfk why she didnt EVACUATE everybody, including herself out the house.
@@JeckaIsAnotherSpecies Where do you sleep? Where do you go?
This is a particularly big issue especially in Countries like America where you are charged to hell and back. Legitimately it is safer for you to gamble on life/death then choose other alternatives at times.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 why should you be charged? What are you charged for?
I'm gonna say it. You draw hands the best out of all the popular animation youtubers. Most people opt for blobs 99.9% of the time.
You do a really good job, also I can see a huge improvement in many areas with your art after animation school.
Keep doing a excellent job!!! 💝💝💝
The moment you said you're friend was sick my first thought was "maybe carbon monoxide poising?" Then the second you said you all had headaches, I thought "definitely carbon monoxide poisoning". That stuff is no joke and everyone should be aware of it. Hopefully this video does exactly that!
Here in Florida, propane dryers are really uncommon. At the start of the video, especially when you first mentioned the black air filter, my first thought was black mold. Glad you found the problem and got it fixed before anything REALLY terrible happened!
I knew exactly where the story was going before you even started. I’ve read too many stories of people unexpectedly dying from carbon monoxide poisoning and it’s one of those extreme fears that I have.
So thank you for bringing that up before bed 😩
Your best defense against stuff like this is knowing when it's happening and whether or not it should be fixed. Shugrr has survived ignoring this problem for a week. Surely you'll be fine if you address it immediately.
it sucks that you had to go through this, I'm glad it's over tho!, I'm excited to see a new video on your channel, as I'm sure a lot of people are!!, the art in this is really nice and cute, very well picked colours for everything aswell!!!
0:15 i screamed and peed myself this was terrifying
Same
Glad you guys are ok! I could list many things we've come across but here's just a few.
A few years back we lived in a small apartment and below us was a bar. There were two apartments and we lived in the right one for a while then changed to the other side lol. Sorry I can't quite remember the years. We ended up having to move after I graduated cuz the landlord was raising the rent. Shortly after they found out there was carbon monoxide in there. I don't know for how long but I do know it was there some time while we lived there so yeah lol.
Idk why but if feel a like any time after we move from a place shit gets fixed. Every time.
Now we live in a much crappier apartment where our landlord, which lives right next to us, doesn't fix anything and mold grows on the walls of my room. No matter how much it's been scrubbed it always grows back. And that's just one of couple of things that need fixing here..
Home ownership can be both a nightmare and something amazing. But damn, faulty equipment or issues with home can be terrifying. I’m glad you guys figured out the issues and I hope there’s no long lasting damage or anything
I'm so glad you're back shgurr! And even better that the carbon monoxide situation was handled. I hope you realize how inspirational you are to all of us animators and the community as a whole
My sleep schedule will stop from being awake to watch this but I will watch this as soon as possible
hi
As soon as I heard the smoke detector and the filter thing alarm bells went off, carbon monoxide is a very silent and scary killer. This is a very terrifying scenario, I’m glad you guys are ok!!
The second you said “the smoke detector went off randomly” i knew this was going towards carbon monoxide, but i’d never heard of it coming from the dryer. Glad you’re healthy, monoxide is terrifying.
Thank God you aren't hacked anymore.
Yes
Definitely

PFFFFFFF LOLLLL
🤣
It’s been fixed.
I love putting you on a mix so I can listen to you talk about different things FOREVER
Good Video Shgurr
Holy hell, that was a most definitely a scary situation. CO poisoning is a silent and insidious killer, and I’m glad you were able to solve the problem before things got worse
Shgurr made a great point, if something seems off-DON'T WAIT!
When i used to work for an appliance installation company the first thing i would do is check for a rotten egg smell near/in the house. No, you can't smell carbon monoxide, but it was for gas leaks.
I love how everyone knew it was Carbon Monoxide Poisoning as soon as you started saying the fire alarm was going off 🤣
Ceiling mounted detectors are inadequate for carbon monoxide or dioxide detection. CO meters should be installed around 4 feet off the ground as CO gas doesnt rise. Tell a friend.
@@TheDramacist Yeah I know this. When they all started getting sick, I already knew it was CO2 poisoning, but I was pointing out when the entire chat started spamming it. But it is important to ha e CO meters in every home like you stated.
Your new style is super cute!
So glad you were able to figure out the dryer issue! I'll definitely check on stuff like this when I get my own house someday
You should also get the vents cleaned they can apparently build up dust and clog up and cause similar issues so(I have heard) it's common to get them cleaned every two years to avoid dust build up
as soon as i heard that smoke detector bit i KNEWWWW, but seriously thank goodness y'all are ok!
So glad your doing a lot better and your new art style and outfit is so darn cute I love it keep being better!
The second you mentioned that it was causing the alarms to go off, and you got headaches and dizzy spells, I assumed it was Carbon Monoxide. Thank you 9-1-1 shows for teaching me about poisonous gasses. Glad you were all okay!
Thank you for this. I never considered if the dryer in my rental house is electric or gas. It’s electric I just checked. It vents into the garage as the garage was an add on. We deal with the humidity by cracking open the garage door. But I panicked for a minute. Even though I’m safe, I’m glad that I have new safety knowledge. Had mine been gas, that could have been a huge issue.
Happy y'all are alive. CO poisoning is serious because, as you would know, it's colourless and odorless so you don't know it's there usually until it's too late. Stoked you figured it out and got it fixed, stay safe everyone ✌
When I heard the symptoms I was like "oh they must be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning" I really hope they're going to be okay (it can get to a point where your body can't tell the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and you'll essentially slowly be poisoned to death get a carbon monoxide detector in your home even if it's a little pricey it's worth it for the Peace of mind)
For the people who own such smoke detectors: Some of them beep once randomly when they request a test phase. You have to push the main (and probably only) button on it to give it a testing phase, to check if it still works. Other smoke alarms beep to signify their battery running low (though most modern smoke detectors work for years on end) ⚠️⚠️⚠️❤️❤️❤️
Omg that’s happened to me too, I got so sick, I had to be hospitalized for 3 to 4 weeks. My whole body almost failed on me, but they took very good care of me in the hospital, and I am healthy now😊👍🏻
Girl, how does this video look so professionally done? I've only been watching for a few seconds, but... am impressed.
My mom and I used to live with some friends of hers in a house that we loathingly call a "drafty old barn". It was an old Victorian house where we lived for *four years*. We lived in a college student neighborhood, so most of the houses in the area were controlled by slumlords who could get away with just about anything, bc the college students weren't very likely to call them out on it. Now, we live in the Midwest (of the United States), so winters were *cold*. In addition, we also get lake effect snow. The heating in this house was pathetic to say the least. We had to have it fixed a minimum of every year. And we have since learned that the vent that was in my room WASN'T EVEN CONNECTED TO THE HEATER! And we were there in the middle of a polar vortex one winter! I ended up having to sleep in my mom's room which was the attic, bc it had its own seperate heater that actually worked! There was a fireplace in the living room, so you'd think we could've used that for heat, right? Wrong! The slumlord couldn't even be bothered to hire someone to keep the chimney clean, so we weren't allowed to use the fireplace!
The summers were insanely hot, and before any southerners try to get out my tail about how it's hotter there, remember, we live relatively near a lake, close enough that we get lake effect snow, meaning we also get humidity in the summers so bad you can practically drink the air. And that old barn didn't have any central air conditioning! We sweltered.
And you know how I said, "drafty old barn"? That's because the drafts were nuts! You couldn't come within five feet of a door during the winter without feeling a chill!
And the showerhead was pathetic, with terrible water pressure. It was so hard to get a good shower.
And there was no dishwasher. It was all handwashing dishes.
When we finally left the dang place, the landlord tried to sue us for damages that weren't our fault!
Anyone who lives in Kalamazoo Michigan, beware the name Lukeman. He will only bring trouble.
I had to look up what kind of dryer would cause that, because I had never heard of it. Seems like it's only for gas powered dryers (which is practically unheard of here (Sweden) because generally all our appliances run on electricity.) So I learned something new today.
While going to high school, my Dad, my Mom, and my brother, in that order, were getting sick and I could tell it was going to happen to me next, which it did. As it turned out, the gasket on the fridge failed which caused the food inside to go bad. It's been so long, but I'm glad to see you're back and have hopefully been doing alright since this happened.
This is why most smoke detectors nowadays have different beep patterns for fire and CO and usually also say which one they're detecting after the beeps
I like watching videos like these to be educated and safe, because in the (distant future when I am older) I plan on moving into an apartment w my 3 bsfs and we all agree to be very educated (as much as we can) before we all do move in.
When my grandma was still a kid, she was sleeping in her room with her sibling and then they woke up and started to feel really nauseated and had a really bad headache, after I while they started to feel drowsy again. Luckily there parents found out a tad bit sooner that there was a gas leak. They got the kids out and fixed it. After that my grandma got really paranoid about using gas in the house so she switched all fully to electric

Shgurr: We didn't know what was going on.
Me: CO2 leak.
Shgurr: Headaches and feeling sick...
Me: CO2 LEAK.
Shgurr: The fire alarm doubles as a carbon monoxide detector.
Me: That's dangerous. CO DOESNT rise. Carbon monoxide or dioxide detectors should be at table height, ideally positioned adjacent to devices that can emit CO/CO2 like boilers, furnaces, dryers and grills. Please get specific CO/CO2 meters and position them correctly.
I was thinking the same thing 😅
Literally I suspected a CO2 leak right away. I agree with this whole comment
Co2 is carbon dioxide.
Co2 is Carbon Dioxide, CO is Carbon Monoxide. Confusing but Co2 isn’t the toxic one (but not air still)
Ha, how did you describe my whole household situation?! Thankfully we fixed the dryer vent pretty quickly, but we need a new dryer.
That would be so scary tbh :0 I’m glad you guys finally figured it out
Bro I love your voice. I'm glad yall are okay. :3

The worst thing that's happened in my house is the bathroom catching on fire
Thank you for reminding me to replace the battery in my detector. Especially since it's winter and starting to get down to 10-15 degrees out already and ive got the furnace running. Always good to have a CO and smoke detector working.
Que bueno que ahora todo está bien bro, la animación también está re bonita, te tengo un re cariño💓
Saludos desde Argentina!
ola
Oh my gosh! Thank goodness your guys are alright.❤️❤️
Also keep a check on your dryer since it can collect dust inside the area that collects dust trap if it has one, so if you smell slight burning you may need to get it checked.
Also the burning smell is because that piled up dust can catch on fire so either be sure to keep it clean or have extinguisher or have the fire department on speed dial. My family got lucky that when need get a part repaired the repair guy found this out and clean it up for us.
“My house is actually as old as I am, so basically ancient”

OMG JEDI?? 1st to reply!
Huh, ironically I worked in HVAC for a while and you would be _shocked_ how many people *don't* check their dryers, don't clean their lint trap, or have no idea when to change vent filters _if at all._ (^～^;)ゞ
As soon as you mentioned the dryer and the heat build-up I thought it was a lint trap issue. Not quite, but glad you have the luxury of _breating_ again. I hope you all had a full recovery. (^ ^;)ゝ

Thanks for making such great content i am happy i came across your channel.❤
Before finishing this video I knew exactly what it was. I almost lost my husband (way before we moved in together and got married) and I lost two of my friends early last year (brothers) due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
When my husband and I started getting on and off headaches last month I got paranoid and saw that the carbon monoxide detector's batteries died. Thankfully it didn't go off (besides the few "testing" beeps it will do when you put the batteries in) and there was a storm the next day. After that passed the headaches were gone. For a moment though I almost passed out when I was trying to put the batteries in because I was so scared that I was going to die like my friends did.
Check your carbon monoxide detector's batteries frequently. If you don't have one, report it because every house is required to have one.
"My house is as old as I am, so basically ancient-"

I love the new design so much
Its just standing there MENACINGLY 5:26
while listening to this i knew it would either be carbon monoxide or black mold based off of the symptoms. it's really scary how fast and secretly something like this can happen
Just a friendly reminder we are all children wrapped in adult meat suits pretending to know what we are doing haha

You’re real ppl? I thought y’all were just a hundred rats in a trenchcoat.
Carbon monoxide is a horrid fear of mine, so when I’m older I’m gonna be more paranoid them I am now
I had to mute this half way through because I have a little bit of PTSD with alarms, but this was very good and thank goodness you're ok.
