!! Help !! Has anyone had issues with bleach giving you horrible side-effects after cleaning with it? I called poison control in my state and they said it was very unlikely that breathing in bleach would cause chlorine poisoning but online it says that breathing it in through cleaning products is the most common way people get chlorine poisoning. My throat is hoarse, I’m struggling to breathe, I feel like I’m going to vomit, I’m dizzy and my eyes are watering. Has anyone else had a reaction like this? I’m wondering if it’s just a severe reaction because of my sensitive connective tissues. The ER said of course they would see me if I came in but they can’t give guidance regarding if I potentially have chlorine poisoning or not without seeing me in person. They said I should have relief after breathing fresh air for 30 minutes but of course I don’t. Any advice is appreciated!

I also can’t do bleach I suspect it’s from my MCAS and reactive airway asthma issues BUT I also think my family overused bleach when I was growing up so that contributed even further

I used to clean my grout with bleach and I have been sick for 4 years
It gives me an instant asthma like attack migraine and nausea. I can’t even be around the tiniest amount.

I am guessing you have Mast Cell since it’s part of the trifecta of EDS and POTS. If you can take Benadryl (the kids dye free kind that doesn’t have the red dye and Pepcis AC, they are H1 and H2 blockers that help with mast cell liberators and if it’s a reaction. I’m so sorry this happened
@katehall thank you so much!! I have suspected that I have Mast Cell but don’t know much about it and don’t currently have any doctors who understand it, I’ll definitely be pushing to find a doctor to diagnose me after this. Thank you so much for your help!
