18 YO DS is travelling around Europe staying in assorted accommodations, most of them for just the one night before he moves on to the next destination. Am I silly to want him to have a small portable carbon monoxide detector with him?

It’s not what I would have chosen to stick in my backpack tbh. I think the odds of carbon monoxide poisoning in a youth histel(I’m assuming are pretty low) why not get an Apple Watch or something that can monitor your o2 saturation.

Total besides the point (which I think is a bit over the top!) but might be interesting to know: sats monitoring doesnt show carbon monoxide poisoning, it'll be more likely to read 100% than anything low (haemoglobin really likes to bond with carbon monoxide so saturates itself with it quickly and easily which is what causes the problem).
