Sunflower Heater Incident

[PlayDoh]

I seen on the news some family got CO2 poisoning recently. They live in million $ or more house that looked fairly new. He had 3 CO2 detectors connected through his alarm company, yet none of them went off.
First CO2 detector I had I had to return cause the test button wouldn't work. As in the alarm wouldn't go off.
Now I'm fairly skeptical of these detectors and considered testing mine.
I keep a battery one in my tent but it's never gone off. I'm sure I've nearly been killed by CO2 numerous times in the past from propane heaters and thankfully I now get to take it seriously.
Thanks for the expert advice and concern Evil69. Very, very informative and helpful.

Wow have my eyes been opened even more. I usually have at least one vent open and the zipper on the door opened about 3" to 6". I just came back from Cold Lake and thought I was getting sick. Scary to hear that you can pass away after a good period of time of feeling better. In the back of my head I had a feeling that I may have gassed myself a bit. Guess I know the answer.
