rich besser. are casesic like this rare? >> they are rare. we have seen them malls, even in a hockey rink. with a machine with fuel, gasoline, pro pane, most likely in the home. but 15,000 people go to the er and lots die. >> what are the signs to look for? >> using a detector is the way to go. it's colorless, tasteless, doesn't irritate. it could feel like the flu, headache, muscle ache, nausea, dizziness. but once it builds up to dangerous level, mental confusion, vomiting, loss of muscle koorlgs and death. detecting it is critical. it's often too late. if you get to the e.r., it saves your life. >> is the detecter the primary thing? >> the detector is the way to go. but many times buildings put them on the ceiling. it's heavier than air. plug it in down low. that way it will detect as it starts to build up. by the time it reaches that level, it can be too late. >> useful information. we appreciate it. >> silent killer. thanks. >>> turn to the other breaking story overnight, the capture of one of the most wanted criminals on the planet who

richard besser said they did not look into why the women were taking the drug in the first place. >>aving some kind of medical condition that led them to take the drug, it may be that that is what is leading to the increased risk for attention deficit disorder. >> reporter: and both doctors agree, more studies are needed. before taking any medication, before taking any medication you should always consult your doctor and some physicians believe who women who exercise regularly have less complaints of pain, john and marci. >> abc's dr. richard besser who used to work at the cdc says in general you don't want to take any kind of medication unless you absolutely need it. with this, this has been around for a long time and has a great track record so most people should still feel comfortable taking it. >> doctors say it is essential for treating fever, even in pregnant women so use your best judgment. >>> more medical news for women this morning. more research finding women as young as 35 may benefit from having their ovaries surgically removed if they carry either of the two brca genes.

besser here to talk about that. >>> the coast-to-coast wild weather setting in and heavy fog, even dusttorms, ginger. >> how you kick off a dust storm like that, you go from 63 in depp and almost three hours later or less you go to in the 20s. so drop it off some 40 degrees and this morning the windchill in denver is 9. there are windchill advisories from minneapolis to chicago. iowa also included in that and then that dense fog. all along the gulf coast from corpus christi to central louisiana, houston, less than a quarter mile and that's where we begin our story this morning. dense fog suffocating the morning commute again from houston to new orleans. and in the gulf, stranded by fog, the carnival "triumph" unable to dock, closing the port since yesterday. that was the ship known for losing power for five days in the gulf last year now stuck at sea again until that fog lifts. not fog but dust in denver. an imposing haboob racing across the land engulfing parts of the mile high city after temperatures dropped almost 40 degrees in just two hours. the shift to spring in virginia forcing

richard besser, is here. rich? >> reporter: what they found was, the older you are when you have your children, the greater the risk you have for having a mental illness. this was a huge study. it was very well done. it was in sweden. they followed 2.5 million men. they found the age of the dad really matters when it comes to the problems their kids would face. >> mental illness, what do you mean? >> reporter: take a look at this. compared to the youngest fathers, those who were fathered by men older than 45, three-times the risk for autism. 13-times the risk for attention deficit disorder. 25-times the risk for bipolar. and twice the risk for schizophrenia. the risk was still very low. but your risk went up as your dads age. >> these are men over 45. and any conjecture about why? anything specific? >> reporter: this doesn't prove it's age. but we know that the older you are, the more mutations there are in your sperm. and that may be the link here. it doesn't mean that you should rush out and have your kids young.

richard besser weighs in. what is going on? >> this is -- this is a scary situation.. other researchers have looked at other colors. it's not just a situation with yellow. they're finding it in many different colors of dye. >> we know this has nothing to do with food dye. >> it doesn't. these are not allowed in foods. these dyes are getting into our water supply. they get into the food supply because of that route. they're able to detect them in people's bodies because of what they eat. >> how dangerous can can it be for human ifs consumed? >> i think if there were a really big health risk, we would have detected something. but at the doesn't mean there's not a small risk from long-term exposure. not enough studies about low-dose kem cams in our environment and long-term exposure. i'm not changing anything time doing auz of this. the researcher is. she's washing some of the clothes. that will reduce the exposure. >> it makes sense any way. >> all kinds of fabric softener in there. >> thanks. >>> we're going to turn now to that new trend, hi, in finding, of course, tha

richard besser. rich, what do you think? with a lot of this. one of the things i love about being a pediatrician i see kids from the moment they're born through all these stages and so when they come in sick i can place it with their life and history. that's not something you get when you go to a walk-in clinic. >> are there types when it makes sense. >> i would always try to see your regular doctor first. if you can't get in, your child has a sore throat and want a swab to see if they have strep that's secret you can do in a clinic. going on a trip and want someone to look in the ear. better to go to a walk-in than not be seen at all. there are settings where it makes sense. >> i like what we heard. the idea of the continuum of care so i don't -- >> i don't think you ever want to go a regular checkup or behaviorial problem. see your regular doctor or if you ever think it's a serious illness see your regular doctor because they know your child's medical history and they'll be the ones following up and have the records. that'

richard besser is here with much more. rich?ence that the fda is considering is extremely complicated. as i was studying the reports late last night, i have to say at times it felt like this. like i was reading science fiction. look at this. combining the genetic material of three people to make a baby could wipe out potentially a whole category of incurable inherited diseases. the procedure sometimes called three parent ivf starts with the mother's egg. if there's problems with the mitochondrial dna, they left out the eck's nucleus. with all the genes for height, weight, color in tact. and move it to a healthy donor egg. with healthy mitochondrial egg. now the enhanced egg can be fertilized in a lab by the father's sperm and the embryo would be implanted back in the mother like regular ivf. researchers in oregon tried this in monkeys. it worked. they also tried it in human eggs but never implanted them. the fda saying the controversial procedure wasn't yet approved for human trials. this morning, questions remain. is it safe an
