Chlorine tablet fumes

[Jameshtx]

I just took a load up my nose right after I opened up the bucket of tablets. Just curious if that could cause serious health injuries?

Hmmmmm.... don't know? I wouldn't go running to the doctor over it but I suppose if you're asthmatic it might mess with you a while?

Now if you accidentally mixed that with muriatic acid or ammonia its deadly. Seriously.

Stop sticking your nose in buckets of pucks, bottom line

You must be getting water in the bucket if you're getting gassed. Dry tabs won't cause many problems.

Getting gassed is no fun and can be quite dangerous because it's chlorine.

Always open the bucket outdoors with the wind at your back and walk away for a minute to let it air out.

If you're not experiencing any medical issues there's probably not much a doctor could do, but check with one if you feel like it's necessary.
