What could cause a sore throat when i use cleaning products?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vapors: Vapors from household cleaners, such as bleach, may cause an irritant contact dermatitis, a chemical burn, and/or irritation of the mucosal linings of the respiratory and digestive tracts. These chemical interactions with skin and mucosal cells may result in their damage and inflammatory response. Ultimately, this may results in soreness of throat.
