Headache, dizziness, and vomiting. Had a small propane canister hooked to a camping stove. Driving home from the mountains during fowl weather with the windows all rolled up with the heater and the re-circ on. The leak was too small to smell with smelly dogs and stinky boots and socks and wet blankets in the back. Eventually my wife started complaining of nausea. I disregarded her claims as nothing more than having a sore stomach from drinking cheap red wine and eating bad repeatedly frozen/thawed swordfish steaks. Eventually her sore tummy reached a crescendo with over salivating dry heaves and dizziness. I pulled over to let her puke and get a breathe of fresh air. When I got back in the car I definitely noticed the smell. I grabbed the camping stove. The canister was still screwed on the stove manifold tight but I gave it a whiff anyway and could smell the gas. I disconnected the canister. Not trusting the old can of propane I let it vent off. I checked it again a minute later and could still smell the gas. Evidently, one of the valve parts was frozen open. An old propane canister from the year before had been exposed to moisture and the valve would no longer fully seat itself and close off the flow of gas.

Do you have to seek medical attention after exposure to natural gas?
Natural gas is an energy source that is commonly used in homes for cooking, heating, and water heating. It is primarily composed of methane. Exposure to low levels of natural gas is not harmful to your health. However, if a gas leak is severe, the amount of oxygen available for breathing could be dramatically reduced, which can lead to asphyxia. Exposure to extremely high levels of natural gas can cause loss of consciousness or even death. ****An individual exposed to natural gas asphyxia needs to get fresh air immediately and medical attention as soon as possible. If the person is unconscious and not breathing, move him or her to a location where there is fresh air and administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until help arrives.***
