Specializes in Psychiatry

Toxic !: Ammonia & bleach when mixed, create a toxic chemical. Area should be ventilated well. You should leave the space & go outdoors where you can breath in fresh air. If you feel ill or the chemicals are still there call 911. You can also call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center.
