CBC News network has announced that there is a 58% increase in hospitalizations as a result of poisoning through the use of disinfectants.
"From people experiencing burning eyes and trouble breathing to children drinking hand sanitizer, there's been a jump in the number of cleaner and disinfectant-related accidental poisonings since the COVID-19 pandemic began, as Canadians try to keep themselves and their homes virus-free.
"According to Health Canada, February and March combined showed a 58 per cent increase from the same period a year earlier in reported exposures related to cleaning products, bleaches, disinfectants, hand sanitizers, and chlorine and chloramine gases.
"Poisonings involving bleach are most common, making up 38 per cent of all calls to poison centres in March."
Personally, I have always been careful about not using too much bleach, as I recall how my mom bleached my fridge (I was 21) while I was at work at my first apartment, and how I developed a wicked headache that night 'cause of the bleach.
The annoying thing is that usually after I have sprayed and cleaned with stuff in the past is that I took off and left my apartment with the window open; and now being stuck in the same apartment (staying-at-home), I have to be a bit more careful and keep the patio door open when I clean, keeping the oven fan on... etc. While the chemicals in some of these products work real well, I have never liked them, as they aren't natural.
