hi,
last night i accidently swallowed a drop or 2 of household bleach.
i was cleaning the sink with it and my tap is one of those that fizzes out when hot water is turned on and fizzes water everywhere and my cup of tea was next to the sink and some bleach must have gone into it because i tasted bleach when i went to drink it..i swallowed it and tasted bleach..
nothing happened and i drank some milk but not for 10 mins or so after..
now my throat feels stratchy..i dont know if this is because im a smoker and i smoked a different brand last night[roll ups]or if its because im panicking about it and thinking about it and constantly clearing y throat..or because it burnt me..
could a drop or 2 do any damage.
i was telling one of the mums at the school this morning and she said it would be fine and a couple of drops wouldnt have done any damage.no worse than after bleaching cups and not rinsing properly and getting the residue and she laughed[not in an unkind way] when i said abut phoning the national poison number...ive googled it and most say a couple of drops or a bit of a mouthful wouldnt do any damage except to make me sick if id ingested enough..but i didnt feel sick or wasnt sick as it was only a tiny bit but im paranoid about my throat and now the thought is in my mind,my health anxiety is making me panic and worry about it..
please help and give me some reasurrance.
thank you very much.
