Nor have I.

The enemy of freedom and the enemy of the people is all round us and we see it and we don't notice it: it is People, Each Other, numbers, overcrowding, same as that shepherds say that the worst enemy of a sheep is another sheep. > ... It pointed out the residual CO in the smokers body following a cigarette > ... Does CO work ONLY by blocking the haemoglobin? I read that if rats are kept in several bars pressure so that enough oxygen dissolves in the blood plasme for them to live on, the haemoglobin is bypassed and the rats can tolerate massively superlethal amounts of CO. If that exactly so, or can CO also cause nitrogen-type narcosis or block some other part of the metabolism system? Re the similar and also lethal substance HCN (hydrogen cyanide gas); could a man wearing a breathing set with a fullface mask be safely deloused by fumigation with HCN? Or would he absorb a lethal amount through his skin?
