Is Ammonia Mixed With Bleach Harmful?

I have heard a lot about ammonia being mixed with bleach as becoming deadly. How much does it take for it to become deadly? How long does a normal healthy person inhale the mixture before he/she can die of it? these are common household things and yet, can they really be deadly? if a person really dies from it, will it be detected in the body also? i hope i can learn more from your answers. thank you doctor.
