Never mind tasting it , You can smell it. It has a clean sharp smell . Household bleach smell is chlorine bring given off.

NB Chlorine is an extremely poisonous green/yellow gas . It will react with almost anything, so don't go tasting chlorine. If you accidently ingest 'chlorine/bleach ', then drink as much (cows)milk as possibly and get to a doctor/a&E/Emergenccy Room/

Yes, but not for long. Chlorine gas will poison you very quickly.

It is a particularly unpleasant way to go, too. You drown as your lungs fill with your body fluids but, you really don't notice that because of the burning pain as it destroys your eyes and other mucous membranes.
