Symptoms:

Watered-down (diluted) sodium hypochlorite generally causes only mild stomach irritation. Swallowing larger amounts can cause more serious symptoms.

NEVER mix ammonia with sodium hypochlorite (bleach or bleach-containing products). This common household error produces a toxic gas that can cause choking and serious breathing problems.

Symptoms of sodium hypochlorite poisoning may include:

• Airways and lungs
  • Coughing (from the fumes)
• Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and throat
  • Burning, red eyes
  • Gagging sensation
  • Pain in the mouth
  • Pain in the throat
  • Possible burns on esophagus
• Heart and blood vessels
  • Chest pain
  • Low blood pressure
  • Slow heartbeat
  • Shock
• Nervous system
  • Delirium
  • Coma
• Skin
  • Irritation of the exposed area
  • Burns
  • Blistering
• Stomach and intestines
  • Stomach or abdominal pain
  • Vomiting
