1 year agoCorrect, Covid facemask does nothing to help with gasses. Op should use extractor fan and ventilation. Additionally: the acute dangers of gas-stoves are highly exaggerated. With proper ventilation there’s nothing to worry about.
Thanks for the clarification. It was not my intention to downplay the risk of carbon monoxide. Hence my comment about proper ventilation.
CO detectors are a good investment 👍🏻
