Things That Kill Us

About the Book

The next time you go on a family vacation overseas or somewhere in America and staying at one of those lovely bargained rental vacation homes, condo, or even hotel, please put a small portable plug-in carbon monoxide detector with battery backup device in your bag. Also carry an international universal grounded travel adapter plug set with you. This is what a safety-, security-, and vulnerability-conscious person does. This can literally save your life and that of your family or loved ones. This book is all about some of those safety and security issues that if ignored, it might be just one of those “things that kill us.”
