Long term effects of acute CO poisoning are real.

I don't doubt it, but I don't necessarily believe in this particular anecdote. Based on this one account, I wouldn't rush out to buy a portable carbon monoxide detector for when I stay in a hotel. When money's involved, there seems to be a higher than normal instance of long term side effects. Maybe its psychological, maybe it's greed. It's the world we live in.

Who tf do you think you are to just come up to someone you don't know telling you about someone close to them suffering and saying "yeah, I think they're faking it for the money", based on less than zero evidence?!

Seriously, the internet's veil of anonymity hits some people unbelievably hard.

Nah you don't get it bro, this guy brought up the totally factual point that most illnesses caused by the negligence of a business are made up to scam them out of money. So you should always assume a family member who "nearly died" is just tryna get that bag. 🤒💰😜

No lawsuit was filed, and I don’t see one being filed - it’s probably been too long.
