But Danny Chun with IPC says this isn’t exactly new. Calls to the hotline have increased 36-percent during the pandemic.

He says people have been using products, including bleach, to wash their hands and produce.

So yeah, apparently this has been going on for a while if you believe that guy.

Yeah, but come on dude. People take Trumps words as the word of god. Literally. He can do no wrong and god literally sent him to lead us.

More people are doing it. There is absolutely zero doubt. And it's because of him.

I wonder how its recorded and tracked. Like is accidental consuming the bleach you used to clean an apple recorded the same as someone taking a shot of bleach.

I suspect that information is mostly anecdotal from notes based on the fact they didn't provide a hard number of causes of entry, but who knows?

I took on a long distance hike for six months a few years ago. After the first month I got tired of my pump water filter getting clogged up every week or so and just started treating my drinking water with bleach. I had to buy a special bottle to carry it in because that poo poo doesn't like being contained. At one point it had leaked out of this travel shampoo thing I was using and burned a hole in my backpack.

Anyway, I would just put 2 drops per gatorade bottle to kill off giardia or whatever supposedly would be in the creek water shake it up and drink it immediately. Didn't have to wait 30 minutes like you are supposed to with those iodine treatments. It was nice to be able to drink cold water right from the source. I read later I should have waited but I didn't get giardia or cow poo poo disease or anything.

After five months of this I came out the other side ok. I did develop a kidney/bladder stone that was very uncomfortable when it finally passed in a Krystal bathroom near Chattanooga.

The best thing for that would have been Polar Pure. Bottled Iodine Crystals that backpackers use. Each cheap bottle can filter thousands of quarts.






But it turns out you can make meth out of it so now you can't get it anywhere.

People, non-chuds, in this thread earlier were saying they used a bleach solution to wipe down their produce and container boxes, etc.

I think that's a bit excessive and you know, bleach on produce.

How do you measure 200ppm? Honest question. I have no idea.

I'm assuming the people in here mentioning it were putting a cap full into a bottle of water and using that.

You can just do serial dilutions of a measured quantity of bleach until you know you have the right concentration.

I wipe down packaging but not produce, in fact I don't recall anyone saying that they're putting bleach on produce but people sometimes say and do stupid things so it's certainly possible

TDS tester. $10-20 on amazon or wherever. Test water, add bleach, test again.

You can even treat drinking water with bleach. https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/emergency/drinking/making-water-safe.html. I still advise that you shouldn't inject yourself or others with it but I promise to keep you all up to date if that changes.
