81 people in Wisconsin have been hospitalized after having severe exposure to carbon monoxide. The people exposed were at a hockey game. The gas was discovered after players were complaining about headaches, dizziness and one fainted. Apparently, the leak has been said to be coming from the Zamboni. The people affected were hospitalized and the rink I'd taking care of the leak.
It's crazy how easy it is to be poisoned b y carbon monoxide. You'll never know it's there until it's in your system. I'm glad all of these people were ok

Luckily they caught it in time, or the situation could have been a lot worse. It is quite scary to think about how easy it is for carbon monoxide to leak and no one would know until its too late. I hope that hockey rink will take steps to prevent this from happening again.
