Clorox

[itzliz115]

Guys Im kinda scared ima die bc I was cleaning the bath tub with Clorox (I had like a face mask they use in clinics and gloves) and then I got distracted and started fixing the stuff in the shelves under the sink and basically I was in there for like an hour and 15-30 mins .. and I also used more Clorox to clean the toilet seat and sink but this time without gloves . and like my fingers are hurting and I have a headache . Oh and I forgot to mention that I was feeling light headed when I got out. I’m freaking outttt omg :((( I’m scared my fingers will fall off idk my anxiety doesn’t make this situation any better.

I love the smell of bleach. It makes me feel things are clean.

You should always have the widow open and the fan on.

I doubt you fingers will fall off. Keep and eye on circulation if you are concerned.

Clorox will eat off a little skin if you don’t use gloves but your fingers won’t fall off.

Sounds like you got a little over zealous with the Clorox and your cleaning, always open windows, we need circulating air as breathing in Clorox is irritating to the lungs and def will cause headaches.

Soap instantly deactivates bleach that’s why bleach doesn’t keep processing in hair when it’s colored with bleach. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and it should be fine. It is a skin irritant so if you had some on your skin that’s a normal reaction. Chemicals when I’m cleaning especially bleach in a small unventilated space can cause lightheadedness, nausea, and dizziness. Try to get as much fresh air as possible and drink plenty of water and this should subside. If your experiencing the same symptoms for more than two hours after trying these things consider calling poison control located on the back of the bottle and they can advise you better. The likely hood of you dying is very very slim.
