WOMAD Festival – Be careful when you camp

Make sure your camping light and stove are clean and properly adjusted. Never take a portable barbecue or lit charcoal into an enclosed space like a tent or caravan. Make sure exhaust gases from generators are properly vented away from occupied areas. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, highly poisonous gas that can kill in minutes. Carbon Monoxide poisoning can be caused by ANY fuel that burns or smoulders. Watch out for the symptoms:

Mild headache.
Dizziness.
Nausea.
Vomiting.
Fatigue.
Drowsiness.
