Do not mix vinegar and bleach (Kate Bacon)
A girl who wanted to thoroughly clean the house and got overly smart almost poisoned her family.
She uploaded a video to Tiktok in which she explained the terrible mistake she made: she mixed vinegar with bleach last month and found herself in isolation with her family for fear that they had been poisoned.
"My grandparents spent the vacation with us," she wrote in her video that has gained over 21.4 million views since it went online.
What she didn't know was that she exposed them to chlorine gas which has a pungent smell and a yellow-green color.
This gas can harm the eyes, nose and throat and in extreme cases it can also cause death if exposure to it is prolonged.
Almost ended in disaster

On the website of the Rambam Hospital, Prof. Yedidia Benator, director of the National Institute for Information on Poisoning, warned:
"Do not mix bleach with other cleaning agents (mainly acids) for the purpose of cleaning toilets, bathtubs, sinks, etc., because the mixing causes the release of toxic chlorine vapors , which irritates the lungs and causes an asthma attack"

Dr. Mein Barnea-Zahar from the Davidson Institute also warns: "It is important to take safety measures when using bleach because mixing it with other substances commonly used in the home can be dangerous.
Adding an acid to bleach (eg vinegar, descaling agents or toilet cleaners) results in the release of the toxic chlorine gas, which irritates the skin, eyes and respiratory system and can even kill.
In contact with the skin, it reacts with the fats and proteins in our skin (the skin becomes slippery because of cells that are destroyed).
Mixing with preparations that contain ammonia may emit additional toxic gases, while mixing with hydrogen peroxide may cause a strong reaction in which flammable oxygen is released."
