Comical to follow thread there. Mohamed says his mother would spray with ammonia. Muslim kids blow up fast.
Don't do this! Mixing bleach & ammonia creates chloroform!
No it doesn't. It produces chloramines which are toxic and explosive.
The thread that will never die.
Chloramines are toxic. They are what the water company puts in your drinki ng water to kill bacteria.
It is less toxic than chlorine, which the water company used to put in your drinking water. Chlorine is much better at killing bacteria but we use th e weaker chloramine instead. The reason is that if there is enough organic material in the drinking water, chlorine reacts to form trihalomethane com pounds, which are believed to be cancer causing.
Did you notice we drink both of them?
but only in drinking water. Please don't drink ammonia OR bleach, straight up or mixed.
Charcoal is a traditional chemical antidote. Skin surface bleach burns can be relieved by potato peelings. Tobias.
