My detector has been going off - is there any way of telling whether it's the real deal or just a false alarm? I suppose death would be a symptom.

my advise is to take a 'wait and see approach', course i am also sitting on a bulging can of botulism :rolleyes:

Good thing this wasn't last Monday night...I definitely had these symptoms:

* Headaches

* Dizziness

* Nausea

* Light-headedness

So, no I'm not dead.........I took the battery out to shut it up. Then I fell asleep because I had a long night last night, and I wasn't sure I would wake up.

We're not sure you have.

Don't end up like Vitas Gerulaitis:

 

Gerulaitis died in an accident on September 17, 1994, at age 40. While visiting a friend's home in Southampton, Long Island, a malfunction in the heating system caused odorless, poisonous carbon monoxide gas to seep into the guesthouse where Gerulaitis was sleeping, causing his death. Gerulaitis is interred in Saint Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, Long Island, New York.

You can check them for response with a cigarette.

 

Replace them every 5 years.

And when you purchase smoke detectors, buy the combination photoelectric/ionization units. The ionization part reacts faster to flames, the photoelectric faster to smoldering smoke.
