I have had CO overdose as well, and it is miserable. Splitting headache, shortness of breath, dizziness, the whole works. It was in an asparagus packing plant whose manager decided to switch from electric forklifts, which required a shift of downtime to recharge, to propane forklifts. That let the plant run three shifts uninterrupted. Bad decision, but fortunately easily corrected.
