Question:
i just poured neat bleach on the grout of my bathroom tiles as they were looking yellow, and not long after, the smell was so strong i couldnt believe it. I left it for about 10 mins and shut the door and kept the windows open, but my eyes were stinging and the smell was so strong i quickly went in and rinsed it all off. What are the health risks of inhaling bleach fumes, as all i can smell and taste now is bleach! All answers much appreciated as i am so worried as it may have damaged my health!
Answers:
other than some minor temporary respiratory problems the long term effects should not happen.Air out your house and maybe get out of your house yourself while you are clearing the air in the house. I used to work with industrial cleaners and as long you are not exposed to the fumes for prolonged periods of time it is pretty safe. There are people that have major lung problems that it affects in a more severe way but usually they stay away from this sort of thing.
You will be fine. You might have an irritated throat and you can use lozenges for that. If you experience difficulty breathing throughout the night seek help. There shouldn't be any long term problems for you. Always DILUTE your bleach and use it in a very well ventilated area.
