What will happen if you breathe in bleach?
Inhalation of bleach can cause severe internal damage, including deterioration of the esophagus lining and lungs. Scarring of the respiratory tract can also occur.Exposure to high concentrations of bleach can result in eyes burning, nose irritation and coughing. Exposure to extremely high levels of bleach, such as 500 ppm (a concentration significantly greater than household bleach), could result in respiratory damage, chronic bronchitis and airway hyperactivity. In some cases, death can occur. Always wear the appropriate equipment and protective masks when working near high concentrations of bleach. According to the Hazardous Substance Emergency Events Surveillance, a report published by the state of Maine, you should always report any symptoms that may occur, including coughing, nausea, shortness of breath, watery eyes, chest pain, irritation to the throat, nose and eyes, and wheezing,

What is the effect of Inhaling bleach?
Depends on the concentration of the bleach you inhaled. A little whiff won't do harm. Lengthy exposure to high concentration bleach can damage the airway and lungs quite severely. In all but very extreme cases, this would present as a nasty, productive chest cold, or pneumonia. A chest xray might show lesions as well. Extreme cases may cause blood to appear in the sputum -- what you cough up. If you see blood, go to the ER. Usually, one brief exposure to breathing household bleach will not cause significant damage -- usually. However, it's wise to only use bleach in a well-ventilated environment.

Can you mix ammonia with Lysol?
EDIT BELOW Answer: Lysol Concentrate and Lysol IC do NOT contain bleach. MSDS sheets say never mix Bleach and Lysol Concentrate or Lysol IC! Products with bleach that are labeled "Lysol brand" do not contain Lysol per se., they are another composition with the bleach. Due to lysol's bleach base (WRONG, see above), mixing it with ammonia results in a toxic substance that is lethal upon inhalation. I would advise against mixing the two.

What happens when you spill a chemicle on yourself?
It depends on the potency of the bleach. Exposure of common household bleach to your skin is not likely to have immediate effects, especially if the bleach has been diluted with water. he longer the bleach is left on your skin, however, the more likely it is that you will begin to experience burning, itching and other types of irritation. If the bleach is left on your skin for an inordinately long period of time, it can cause pigment lightening and permanent tissue damage. Stronger industrial formulas of bleach will produce the same results, only in a shorter amount of time. Getting bleach in your eyes is much more serious than getting it on your skin; damage can occur much faster, and the worst-case scenario can be more debilitating. Pain and irritation will be immediate and proportional to the potency of the bleach. Irritation and damage to your eye tissues will continue until all of the bleach has been rinsed away, and pain and tenderness is likely to continue for hours afterward, even in cases of mild bleach exposure. If first aid is administered immediately, permanent damage may be avoided. If bleach is left to linger or if the bleach is very potent, more serious consequences can include vision damage and even loss of the eye or eyes. The immediate application of first aid is essential to minimizing skin and eye damage. Reduce skin exposure immediately by washing the skin with water for 15 to 20 minutes. If you get bleach on clothing and it soaks through to your skin, remove the clothing first before rinsing. If no irritation develops, professional medical treatment is not necessary. If you get bleach in your eyes, hold your eyes open and flush them with clean water for 15 to 20 minutes. If you're wearing contact lenses, stop to remove them after about five minutes of rinsing, then continue. Always seek professional medical attention as quickly as possible after eye exposure. Immediate rinsing is the highest priority, but if you can get someone to summon medical attention for you while you're rinsing, do so.
