		<description>Carbon Monoxide is lethal because it bonds to the Heme group in the red blood cells much like oxygen and carbon monoxide, but CO has steric properties that cause it, once bonded to the red blood cell, to be permenantly bonded.  This means that that particular cell can no longer bond to oxygen or CO2, but still takes up space in the veins.
Symptoms of CO poisoning, lethargy, dizzyness, and neurological effects are all explained by the drop in usable oxygen delivered to the brain and body parts.  Even breathing small amounts of CO over a period of time will build into serious medical problems, culminating in death.
Should exposure occur, a few weeks are required before the patient will recover completely, but should be able to operate normally if uncomfortably.  Recovery is a function of the normal turnover that occurs in the body.  That is to say, the cells normally die and are replaced every few weeks.  Large exposures required medical attention, possibly consisting of assisted breathing and blood transfusion.
Carbon Monoxide has been linked to some cancers and other physiological effects but the term Carbon Monoxide Poisoning as a cause of death pretains to the neuron death in the brain due to a lack of oxygen.</description>
