Please read the whole story on how a regular household item (harpic) can cause serious health hazard if not used properly.
It was a usual Sunday morning and I was helping my wife on the regular household cleaning chores. It was my turn to clean the bathroom tiles, and each time i really find it very frustrating to clean those old stained tiles completely.
We regularly use Harpic on the floor but as the stains were not going with only using Harpic, I thought to add some bleaching powder. First, I poured bleaching powder on the affected areas and then sprayed Harpic over it.. It reacted very quickly and within a very small time the bathroom was filled with poisonous chlorine gas, I was exposed to the gas for merely half a minute but i suddenly felt chocking sensation and was breathless, I was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital, where the oxygen level on my body was found to be 73 (it should be above 90 for a normal person), my lungs were not able to take enough oxygen due to the damaged caused by the gas, I was kept in the ventilator for nearly 4-5 hours with oxygen mask and IVF with Antibiotics & Steroids were injected.
My Lungs started to respond normally after 7-8 Hours and I was kept off the ventilator for the next 20 hours of medical observation.
Now that I am back to normal (hopefully) thought to share this with the persons I care for. Please read those very small instructions carefully.
I have learned this in a very hard way and don't want anyone of my list to suffer.
