Which symptom is NOT typically associated with CO poisoning?

In the context of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, the symptoms can range widely and may include headaches, vomiting, and visual disturbances such as blurry vision. However, seizures are not a typical symptom associated with CO poisoning.

CO is a colorless, odorless gas that binds with hemoglobin in red blood cells, diminishing the blood's capacity to carry oxygen. Typical symptoms arise due to the resulting hypoxia (lack of oxygen), which include headache, dizziness, nausea, and sometimes vomiting as the body reacts to the lack of oxygen. Blurry vision may also occur due to altered neurological functioning.

While seizures can happen in severe instances of poisoning or in individuals with pre-existing conditions, they are not a primary or common symptom of CO poisoning itself. CO’s effects are more insidious and primarily impact respiratory and neurological functions without typically leading directly to seizures as an initial symptom.
