That’s not enough to cause poisoning unless you light many candles in a small, unventilated space, which would increase carbon monoxide emissions. But that doesn’t mean lighting candles is 100% safe. Since carbon monoxide is undetectable by all five senses, it can be difficult to establish when the CO from candles is nearing dangerous levels. ...
