I was just cleaning some stuff with Clorox and it didn't hit me until I was finished that I have this little cut on my hand. Is it actually possible to get poisoned like that?? If so, what kind of symptoms should I look out for, and how long does it usually take to kick in?
I know people have gotten sick from breathing in the fumes, so I guess it makes sense that it could happen through a wound too.
Total panic mode over here, honestly. I'm not really sure what to do now.😢

Just rinse it under running water! Is it stinging? Once you've rinsed it, you can even soak your hand in a bowl of water for a bit if the burning sensation persists. It shouldn't be an issue as long as the stain isn't spreading. You aren't going to poison yourself, don't worry... but don't go using that Clorox like that again. It's way too harsh for regular household use.
