It could kill you if you filled an entire room with it, as it displaced Oxygen (O2). What you are talking about in your comment is CO Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide (CO), attaches to red blood cells, and stops the transfer of Oxygen (O2), to the body. CO is the result of burning hydrocarbons, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene etc etc. Some detectors and CO detectors, save lives. Always be careful when using space heaters. Be safe out there!

Many could be avoided with a simple CO2 detector and caution when using space heaters. Even taking the time to replace a faulty wall plug, it's stupid simple to do, that even an 8yr old can do it once they are shown how. A homeowner can replace 10 receptacles themselves for $20 versus paying someone $100's of dollars.
