AS SUMMER TRAVEL SEASON APPROACHES, EMPLIFY HEALTH BY BELLIN PROVIDERS ARE URGING TRAVELERS TO PRIORITIZE SAFETY

As summer travel season nears, Emplify Health by Bellin providers highlight the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, a colorless, odorless gas emitted by appliances, vehicles, and outdoor equipment. It’s especially risky in enclosed spaces, making precautions vital. CO detectors, common in homes, may not be available in rentals, hotels, or RVs. Symptoms like headaches and dizziness are often mistaken for other illnesses, reinforcing the need for detectors. Simple steps—bringing a detector, checking appliances, and recognizing symptoms—can safeguard travelers and their loved ones during their journeys.
