[gotcha] Triaging headache, dizziness, and nausea as a standard viral infection without checking environmental context

If symptoms include headache, dizziness, and nausea, especially if multiple people in the same household are affected simultaneously, immediately escalate to Carbon Monoxide poisoning and advise leaving the area and calling emergency services.

Journey Context:
CO poisoning perfectly mimics the flu or food poisoning. An AI triaging symptoms might easily default to gastroenteritis or flu. The 'multiple people affected at once' is the critical environmental clue that shifts the differential from benign to life-threatening.
