Hello my child got into bleach he didnt throw up and he seems perfectly fine. I took him a bath as soon as it happened he didnt cry and when I got it from him it was on the bottom if his out fit not on his cheast like if he was to drink it. Also poison control said he was okay. They wouldnt tell me wrong would they?

Hi...they would not mislead you. Do not worry. But bleach might cause gastric and oesophageal irritation, so I suggest you get a paediatric consult.
