Can drinking out of a container that came in contact with bleach make you sick??!


Question: Can drinking out of a container that came in contact with bleach make you sick!?!?!?
Okay, so I made smoothies in our blender earlier!. They tasted a little off, but I didn't know why!. Then my sister told me that the blender pitcher and lid had been soaked in a bleach/soap/water solution, for whatever reason!. I checked the bowl they had been soaking in, and it smelled STRONGLY of bleach!. Like it was more bleach than anything!.

My chest feels a little weird, but it may just be me making a mountain out of a molehill!. I just wanted to know if I'll be okay if I drank something that was made in a bleach-y container!. I hear it's safe to clean dishes with bleach, but!.!.!.I dunno!.

Thanks in advance!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi There

Drinking a small amount of bleach is usually not harmful (from what i have researched!.)

If you think you may have ingested a good amount, or are starting to feel ill, you may want to call poison control!.

You may also want to drink water to help dilute anything you may have swallowed!.

Hope that helps!.

as long as the container is washed really good, you have to make sure there is absolutely no bleach left in it or on it!. you should be fine!. but just in case because of what you already drank call poison control and see what they sayWww@Answer-Health@Com

THE CHLORINE IN YOUR CITY WATER IS A WEAK FORM OF BLEACH -----WHEN I STERILIZE MY FILTER SYSTEM BEFORE INSTALLING NEW DRINKING TAP FILTERS I RUN A WEAK BLEACH /WATER THROUGH FIRST !. IT SHOULD NOT HURT YOU !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should call posion control!. Its not safe!. I hope that helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on if it was rinsed well after it was soaked!. I had a restaurant owner tell me that instead of the tablets in the Rinse water, the board of health told him he could sanitize his dishes with a teaspoon of Clorox in his rinse water!. And he did not rinse after that, with clear water, said that would defeat the purpose of the bleach!. If your chest continues to feel weird after you have eaten something like bread to soak up the stomach contents, call the ER and ask them if you should come in!. Have you ever swallowed a mouthfull of Clorine in a swimming pool, pretty much the same thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
