By definition, a poison is a substance that causes injury, illness, or death, especially by chemical means. Bleach is caustic (corrosive) to the mouth, esophagus, larynx and stomach. It causes a chemical burn that can be fatal if not properly treated. If drank by a child or an adult, do not make the person vomit as the regurgitation can double the effect of the burning agent as it passes the above mentioned areas a second time. A stomach pump is the proper treatment. See the related link for more information and prevention suggestions.
