You inhale it then the Carbon monoxide bonds with the hemoglobin in blood.
Hemoglobin is supposed to bond with oxygen and carry it around the blood stream - but chemically it prefers to bond to carbonmonoxide - when it does this your blood can't carry as much oxygen and you get drowsy and then pass out and die. It's almost like slow internal suffocation.

∙ 14y agoCarbon monoxide is not created by incomplete combustion. Almost all fuel burning appliances and fires do not burn at 100% efficiency. So some carbon monoxide gas is created. The amount produced is usually not a problem if the appliances are working as designed and venting properly. However, there are many circumstances that can cause carbon monoxide levels to rise.
