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.

My gyproc installing in-laws had a few... i remember one being left in
my new Cape Cod style house to help dry the drywall mud in January/
February of 1976.
The one I remember was more like a yellow torpedo..noisy fan blown hot
air and burning kerosine oil as fuel.
Of course that was 35 years ago.... they may be different now.

What is "gyproc", moron?
