A member asked:
Should i drink water or milk in case of chlorine poisoning and why???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
????: If you have time to write this it is unlikely that you already ingested it but if you did - call EMS. If not, don't. It is a miserable irritant. If you ingest chlorine... i.e. bleach or pool chlorine. It will burn up your throat and cause fumes that irritate your lungs. Dilution may help milk or water ok but call EMS and get medical attention. Otherwise don't mess with chlorine.
