If you get that feeling you are dangerously close to losing
conciousness and being fatally overcome.
Could be, my bud didn't think I was bad enough to go to the ER but who
knows, it was twenty years ago iirc... Took a couple of hours to feel
better in the fresh air that much I do remember. Never worked around a
salamander type heater again after that, no matter what the boss said.

What is a "salamander type heater"?
I remember them as a fairly tall cylindrical space heater, fired by
kerosene. I remember them because when my father built his retail
store, he used a couple of them to help cure the concrete floor, which
was poured in the winter. I was just a little kid, but I do remember
them being referred to as salamanders. They were operated before the
showroom glass was installed...the store was open to the elements
where the windows and doors would go.
They gave off a hell of a lot of heat.
Wrong.
