<sub>I think we've all been poisoned by bleach fumes.

Going to hospital now. Will update with more.</sub>

Hey, guys! Sorry for this random yet alarming journal. I realize it looked confusing and/or "oh god what" but that's what someone in a panic does, especially when one in the house was close to vomiting her lungs out. And the fact that this is the first time we were all possibly poisoned in our lives, so we didn't know what was going to happen next. Also it turned out to not be bleach fumes.


So what basically happened was that this morning (yesterday morning if already Saturday) my parents decided to clean their bathroom. My mother used a new bathroom cleaner, which apparently turned out to be a lot stronger in smell than she thought. Most likely she put in wayyyy too much ._.;; and she was closer to the smell, so...

If you knew my mother, you'd know she reads the labels like 5-6 times and then asks someone to read it too in case she missed something SO the fact that she misread something and nobody else noticed was very surprising, to say the least. Heck, I didn't even notice until it was too late ;_;

So cue 5 minutes in and 1) the house has such a strong smell that I had to open the windows (even the one to the street that we never use because we have A/C), put on the fans and leave the apartment door open; 2) my mother, who was affected the most, is vomiting violently, coughing and such bloodshot eyes you'd swear she was crying blood; and 3) everyone panicking to certain degrees, my father being the loudest XD I looked up in Google what were the symptoms for possible poisoning by bleach-like fumes. Obviously duh they're harmful but I didn't know what were the symptoms >:S Next thing we know, we're at the hospital. We all checked ourselves, even though my father and I weren't affected as much (my father seemed fine and I just had a bad taste in my mouth from the smell.) Just because it's not visible doesn't mean you're not necessarily affected


In the end, after an hour we all got a clean bill of health. Well, not exactly clean as my mother's throat and lungs are irritated and she needs cough drops and lots of fluids -- but compared to what we thought was going to happen, it's pretty clean! It'll take a while for her to clear those irritations --she's still coughing a la bronchitis-- but otherwise, that was what happened today I just woke half an hour ago because it was all stressful and tiring I needed to sleep. XD



Thanks for all your comments, guys.
