I saw in a cartoon that you shouldnt mix bleach with ammonia because it makes Mustard gas, like the shit that was banned after WWI
I’m not sure if it’s mustard gas- but it’s very true you shouldn’t mix the two, and even need to be super careful to not mix any other kitchen and bath cleaners together, without reading ingredients -carefully- to make you’re not inadvertently mixing ammonia and bleach. It’s an ammonia gas that is given off, and it’s deadly.
It’s so sensitive that once my mom washed towels used to dry up a bleach washed floor, with towels used to wash windows, and everyone in the house had bad headaches and what felt like burning lungs and had to open up the house for ventilation and stay outside until it cleared up.
Lots of people have died breathing in the fumes.
It’s usually one of the first things a parent teaches their kid when they go through teaching chores.
It’s right up with telling them to never give a kid under 2 honey (botulism spores some babies can’t handle) , or children under 10 aspirin in some circumstances. (Reye’s Syndrome). Some places say children under 19 shouldn’t be given aspirin- but Ive always heard the age 10-12 age range is off limits.
All these are things are just not something you can not take a chance with. So people usually learn it pretty early.
My bad, it’s chlorine gas not mustard gas… https://spartacus-educational.com/FWWchlorine.htm
Also, dang that article shows the evilness of people. I guess it is one thing to do to save your own life, and another to use it to take power over another. I hope we never find ourselves in those situations.
Yes, chlorine gas makes much sense than ammonium gas. Thanks for that clarification.
