Is it possible to get carbon monoxide poisoning while outside I smelled lots of gas outside but i ran away from the source after a minute?
It is possible but unlikely. Carbon monoxide itself is odorless, so you likely smelled something else. If you mean to say you smelled natural gas, then the greatest risk is not from poisoning but from the explosion and fire that could result. If you think there is a gas leak, leave the area and call the fire department immediately.
