Was mulling over combining these two methods to increase the odds. Am I right in thinking they have similar mechanisms of action in stopping oxygen binding to haemoglobin? Would they potentiate or undermine each other when used in tandem?

SN will change your hemoglobin into methemoglobing, which has such a high affinity with oxygen that it won't let it go into the tissues, while CO poisoning replaces the oxygen in your system by having a higher affinity to hemoglobin. I haven't found any info about the affinity of MetHb to CO, but I'd say that the SN will kinda step over the CO poisoning.

Thanks for clearing that up, very helpful
