X67.2: Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to carbon monoxide from other domestic fuels

Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to carbon monoxide from other domestic fuels is a specific type of poisoning where an individual knowingly exposes themselves to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas. This gas most commonly comes from domestic fuel sources other than motor vehicles. These sources can include home heating systems, fires, or poorly ventilated stoves. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas, can quickly lead to harmful health effects due to its ability to replace oxygen in the bloodstream. The typical symptoms associated with this type of poisoning include severe headache, dizziness, confusion, shortness of breath, and loss of consciousness. Without immediate medical care, it can lead to serious health complications including damage to the heart and brain, and can also be fatal. The disease progression can vary based on the individual's health status, the concentration of gas and the length of exposure.
