The Rosewood House is in possession of its requisite Public Service Announcement, as I like to call it. The message?
Be aware of the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning, and take precautions. Don’t let the Silent Killer haunt you or the ones you love.
Although poison was the sole reason this book was written, it has only a cameo role in the tale. It’s there because I can’t, in good conscience, occupy a public forum without adding a message to raise awareness. Countless people live unaware that they are being steadily poisoned by levels that may be considered non-lethal—but will damage them forever.
This is Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week. Have you had your home tested for safety yet? Do you have a detector installed? Now is the ideal time to do it; with cold weather already here and the holiday season around the corner, heating and cooking appliances may increase an already present danger.
Please read a previous blog post of mine on the subject; and check out this excellent website for information. And forgive me if my wording is a bit blunt in this post.
The Silent Killer is scary business.

We just bought a Carbon Monoxide detector yesterday, partly because of you. Thank you for raising awareness! <3

I can’t tell you how good that makes me feel! Thank you!!
I am amazed how in this day and age that our homes can be so polluted. There is also Radon to worry about.. ACK! At least you are able to use this medium to warn others about the dangers.
So true–and black mold, too! But yes, I’m glad to have a voice.
