| [color=red]i got this in an email[/color] NEVER LIGHT a CANDLE in Airconditioned ROOMS Prevention is better than cure.. A friend in our group (Aramco, Saudi) passed away last week due to carbon –monoxide poisoning. It happened when she lighted an aroma therapeutic candle for the night in a room with Air-conditioner ON . Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidise & thus form dangerous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting in the person dozing-off into a state of unconsciousness & eventually death in less than an hour, depending on the room size. This email is to make you aware of such danger when lighting aroma therapeutic candles in any un-ventilated rooms. Please forward this e-mail to all your loved ones and friends. |

| A candle, The room would have had to be completely air tight, I don't think so. |

| this is true for 'SCENTED' candles, methinks. |

| But maybe that's only true for re-circulated air. AC's that suck in fresh air from the outside and then cool it should be ok. |

I am telling you this could only be possible if the room was completely air tight, the amount of oxygen a candle burns would easliy be replaced under doors, leaky windows, ducts are not airtight etc. |
