Guys, what you're doing when you mix bleach and an acid is producing a
poisonous gas. If the bleach is diluted, it's not dangerous to the
average person in a well ventilated environment, any more than the
cyanide in fruit pits is dangerous to the average person in small
quantities, or the carbon monoxide in a passing car is dangerous, but
poor ventilation, or compromised lungs can change that. If you want to
mix the two, go ahead, but fer Chrissakes be careful, and if you feel
ill, dilute the whole mess and get to fresh air ASAP.

Please read the following, about someone who "took a chance" on
something that was mildly dangerous to a healthy person:

Phlip,
Not a Chirurgeon any more, but still very concerned about safety.
