Candles do kill!!!

NEVER LIGHT a CANDLE in Airconditioned ROOMS
Prevention is better than cure
A friend in our group passed away last week due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
It happened when she lighted an aroma therapeutic candle for the night in a room with Air-conditioner ON .
Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidise & thus form dangerous carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting in the person dozing-off into a state of unconsciousness & eventually death in less than an hour, depending on the room size.
This is to make you aware of such danger when lighting aroma therapeutic candles in any un-ventilated rooms.
Please forward this information to all your loved ones and friends.
