Bleach Exposure: You have exposed to Sodium Hypochlorite, one of the active ingredients of Household bleach. In a confined , not well aerated space, such as a shower, and breathing the fumes, can cause a chemical pneumonitis. Should see your PCP , to be checked and followed, to make sure that this process does not progress and become worse by developing secondary bacterial infection of the Lungs and airway.
