A member asked:
I was cleaning our toilet yesterday using muriatic acid and accidentally inhaled it, i'm still having feelings of dizziness ?

Chlorine: Muriatic acid can release chlorine gas when mixed with water. If you have no eye irritation, shortness of breath or mucous membrane irritation, the dizziness should pass. I would avoid using strong chemicals to clean in the future. Simple bleach should be enough. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
