Folks,
I was feeling fine yesterday, but got home to find my stepmom had turned on the self-cleaning oven feature of her new electric GE profile. It reeked. Anyhow, I didn't think much of it, and worked on my laptop in the living room for an hour or so before leaving to get some food.
Our kitchen is adjacent to the living room, and the patio door was open during the self-cleaning cycle. (It's about 15 feel from the kitchen.) That was the only ventalation.
What was that smell and is it dangerous?
Also, today I go online and find that CO is produced by electric ovens in self-cleaning cycle, and now I'm freaked out I was exposed yesterday -- some pages say exposure can be as high as 200 ppm, which is extremely toxic. I've had a headache today and my eyes have been bothering me. Is this related? Is it in my head?
HELP! I'm freaking out :( :( :(
I HATE chemicals, pollution in the house, and I'm pissed off that my stepmom put us in "danger," but not properly using the self-cleaning feature.
