My parents potentially left their car running in their garage from Sunday afternoon to today, Tuesday! They’ve been in and out of the garage but haven’t driven that car. I’m worried about the carbon monoxide. Would that have affected them yet?

Asked by Maddie over 7 years ago

Long term damage yes, cause it builds up in youir blood stream. Dependant can create issues. I would recommend taking them in to be checked at ER. They can determine CO levels in their blood.
