Will Breathing Drain Cleaner Fumes Cause A Headache Or A Sore Throat?
I have drain cleaner sitting in my kitchen sink, the drain is completely plugged and the cleaner will not drain down. The cleaner has been sitting in the sink for approx 4 hours. Will breathing slight amounts of these fumes cause a headache or a sore throat?
