Winter Threats That Kill

What this episode covers

Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, and in this week’s episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I’m talking about the hidden winter dangers that can turn deadly, especially carbon monoxide. With recent ice storms here in Texas and heartbreaking accidents involving children, I wanted to share what I’ve seen firsthand as a forensic nurse death investigator. Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless, and incredibly dangerous, and every year it takes lives simply because people don’t realize the risk. In this episode, I walk you through real cases, explain how carbon monoxide affects the body, and share practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones during cold weather and power outages. Most of these tragedies are preventable, and if this information helps even one person stay safe, it’s worth sharing. Please pass this episode along to someone you care about, and as always, stay warm, stay aware, and stay safe.
