Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Harpic contains hypochloric acid. Bleach also contains a form of hypochlorite.
Inhalation of the fumes from these agents can result in coughing, chest pain, burning, gagging.
You would need to a well ventilated area. The symptoms should resolve on their own during the course of the day but if you notice any worsening you should seek medical attention.
I hope this helps
