Carbon monoxide is a gas that carries no odor, taste, and is invisible to the human eye. This means that, for all intents and purposes, the gas is undetectable to human senses. As carbon monoxide enters the body, it inhibits the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. As a result of the body’s becoming deprived of oxygen, various tissues die as organ function drops.
