Fatal poisoning at holiday finca near Petra: What is going wrong with heating and safety checks?

Answer

How can I tell if a heater or stove is producing carbon monoxide?

You usually cannot tell by smell or sight, because carbon monoxide is invisible and odorless. Warning signs can include drowsiness, headaches, dizziness, nausea, or several people feeling unwell at the same time. If those symptoms appear in a Mallorca home with a stove or heater, leave the space, ventilate it if possible, and call emergency services.
