Dozens treated for CO poisoning in Ike's wake

The Associated Press

HOUSTON — More than 30 Houston residents have been treated for carbon monoxide poisoning after using gas-powered generators because Hurricane Ike knocked out their power.

A spokeswoman at Memorial Hermann Hospital's Texas Medical Center emergency room said Tuesday that 34 cases had been reported since Saturday.

Ike slammed ashore early Saturday, and as of late Monday, more than 1.6 million people were without power.
