Is Ingestion Of Bleach Harmful To A Child?
My 4 year old son has dipped his toothbrush in a sink filled with aprox 50ml of bleach/500ml water and put it in his mouth, should I be concerned. He is not complaining or vomiting and currently not showing any signs of discomfort other than the bad taste?
