I mixed ammonia and bleach one time when I was cleaning. Suddenly I couldn’t breathe. I called the ER, was told to sit outside, but if it got worse, there was nothing they could do for me. I remember sitting there thinking I didn’t want to die from cleaning house.

I knew NEVER to mix bleach and ammonia..... but had not realized that was the name of the result.

I do not advocate stripping people of household chemicals, just that our education on them be BETTER, and that we are not so willy nilly using stuff that kills us in our ignorance. (The “informative” labels are next to worthless imho.)

Neither lye or ammonia + bleach makes phosgene a poisonous gas. Phosgene a weaponized gas in WWI is more complex.

Bleach and lye releases Chlorine gas, same with vinegar+Bleach.

Bleach and ammonia produces chloramine vapors that are toxic.
