I'm not a physiologist, but I believe the breathing produces CO2 vs. CO, which is very different. CO produced by combustion is quite toxic. Anthony '89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)

It also strikes me that two adults, a child, and a dog will convert a large amount of O2 to CO just by breathing, maybe more than a small propane flame--I don't know.
