Fall brings cooler temps and outdoor activities like tailgating, camping and hunting. Tick and carbon monoxide (CO) exposures are concerns for these seasonal activities. Make sure you’re not cozying up with either by preparing with the resources below. |

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is preventable when tailgating.
Portable generators release CO, a poisonous gas that can be
deadly. Run generators at least 20 feet from people and enclosed
or partially enclosed spaces to help prevent CO poisoning. Learn
more at Michigan.gov/CarbonMonoxide.

Caption:
Don’t forget carbon monoxide or CO detectors for your hunting
camp! Using fuel-burning items like portable heaters and
generators means carbon monoxide (CO) is present. You cannot
see, taste or smell CO, but breathing it in can be deadly. Learn
more at Michigan.gov/CarbonMonoxide.

Fact Sheets
Below are sharable seasonal fact sheets. Download and share.

|
Tailgating and CO
During tailgating, vehicles and portable generators may be used close together near many people. Anything fuel-burning, including vehicles and portable generators, release CO. You cannot see, taste or smell CO, but it can be deadly when you breathe it in.
One portable generator can produce hundreds of times more carbon monoxide (CO) than one car. Remember that CO can build up in enclosed or partially enclosed spaces, like campers, vehicles and canopies leading to CO poisoning.
