Everyone knows Martians are socialist.

OK engineer types:

My wife has been using an electric ceramic heater, but she says everytime she uses it, she gets a headache and feels sick (and the dogs leave the room)... she said that some people at the store where she went to get a new heater that it was producing carbon monoxide...

Now, i've always have read that these can NOT produce carbon monoxide. The only thing i can think of is that something has gotten into the heater and is doing a slow burn possibly producing fumes that are sickening her.

Has anyone heard of an electric ceramic heater producing carbon monoxide? Looking on various websites, the only thing i''ve found that comes close is that you should replace ceramic elements if they are cracked or misaligned.

1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The
ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve
you, but don't start anything."

3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.

5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and
says:  "A beer please, and one for the road."

6. "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'"
"That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?"  "Well, 'It's
Not Unusual'."

7. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says
to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't
believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.

8. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were
nothing to look at either.

9. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

10. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I
couldn't find any.

11. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He
shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied,
"I know you can't - I've cut off your arms!"

12. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel.

13. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

14. Two termites walk into a bar. One asks, "Is the bar tender
here?"

15. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm so rry, sir, only one carrion
allowed per passenger."

16. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other
and says "Dam!"

17. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire
in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't
have your kayak and heat it too.

18. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron," The
other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."

19. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a
root canal?  His goal: transcend dental medication.

20. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were
standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories.
After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked
them to d isperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he
said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

21. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them
goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a
family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a
picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture,
she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of
Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've
seen Ahmal."

22. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they
opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy
flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the
competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but
they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They
ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the
roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat
up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they
didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that
only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

23. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time,
which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate
very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he
suffered from bad breath. This made him...(Oh, man, this is so bad,
it's good)...A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

24. There was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends,
with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did.

25. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does
this taste funny to you?"[/align]

HI Robert. What is an electric ceramic heater?

Whatever it is, I would agree with your assessment. Assuming the dogs are leaving the room because of the heater, it must be something they can smell. I'm almost positive dogs can't smell carbon monoxide either, therefore, it probably isn't CO.

Ah, ah, ah. Remember Skylab. That was one huge piece of space junk[:)]
Yes, but didn't that come down over the Indian ocean?

Parts of it came down over Austrailia if I remember correctly.

There may be some contanimation on the elements. When the elements heat, the material could be out gassing creating fumes that are bothering your wife and dogs.

A likely story..."woke up and it was gone"....you are just a picture of innocence. Cuff him, boys.

Robert I just looked at the web to see how likely my explaination is. Most sites say ceramic heaters have very low outgassing properties. I am still wondering if something got on the elements. Have you looked to see if the elements appear clean?

HI Robert. What is an electric ceramic heater?

Well, as best i understand it, it is an electric heater and the heating elements somehow incorporate ceramics. There are also ceramic heaters that are powered by natural gas or propane.

i'd have to take it apart, i think. At any rate, she bought a quartz heater to replace it.

Indeed...we need something light to counter the painfully typical moral bash-a-thon developing on the main forum. (Why....did i venture back?...must have been the THREAD....it has gravity. [:D] )


What is going on in the main forum?* i have avoided going there for some weeks now...

(*i will guess the usual fanboi arguments...)

i'll see if i can scare up some NAKED ANIMALS soon...

Well, you are the MD, but if it is making her sick replace it. It's not worth the trouble.

I know I am stating the obvious.
