I have a friend named Scott, and Scott almost

died a few years ago because of a clogged filter. The heat had stopped working in his house,

and Scott's one of those guys who thinks that all he needs is a YouTube video and a toolbox and he can fix anything.

It's a dangerous way to live, as it turns out.

He's armed with his YouTube tutorial and a few tools, and he walks down to the basement

to address the fact that the heat is out in his house and somehow he fixes it, but he doesn't

know how he fixed it. And if you fix something and you don't know how you fixed it, did you really fix it? But it's working again. The heat is flowing and he feels pretty good about himself, thinking that he saved a few hundred bucks on a repair call. What he didn't realize, though, was that the furnace had apparently shut itself off for a reason. The reason was

the filter, that thing designed to catch all the dust and debris, was completely clogged, and when a

filter gets completely clogged, there's safety sensors that shut down the system to prevent

something dangerous from happening, and somehow, Scott, it's not sure how, somehow he bypassed

that whole problem, and he got the furnace running again never

changed the filter in fact he doesn't think he ever changed as long as they lived there but

that filter that system couldn't breathe carbon monoxide started building up and that's

silent it's invisible it can be deadly around 2 a.m. his wife wakes up feeling a

little disoriented splitting splitting headache, and she

tries to wake up her husband, tries to wake Scott up, and he doesn't wake up, not right away.

And so she shakes him. He's still not waking up. She shakes him a little harder, and he

finally wakes up, and he's confused and disoriented, and she realizes what's happening, and she

gets them out of the house,
