Tightness In Throat And Wheezing After Exposure To Bleach. Is This Normal?
Sometimes after I use bleach (just bleach, mixed with water and no other chemicals) my throat feels like it's closed up and tight, it's hard to get air into my lungs and I wheeze a little. I also feel a little warm and light headed. Is this normal? Maybe my ratio of bleach compared to my amount of water is too high? Any advice is appreciated.

Bleach is a irritant which can cause skin reactions like hives,dermatitis and other symptoms of allergy.This may include swelling of the face,tightness of the throat,shortness of breath and wheezing.As bleach causes allergic bronchospasm and other symptoms of allergy,exposure to bleach should be avoided by you.Your doctor may advise antihistaminics and oral steroids if the symptoms are severe.The advised ratio for removal of mold for a bleach solution is one cup of bleach to a gallon of water.
