Sore Throat Relief with bleach

Submitted by CrisQ

I have terrible sinus allergies, which in turn makes for regular sore throats. When I was young my granny would take a 16 oz glass of warm water and add just 2 or 3 DROPS of bleach.

"A I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO EVERYDAY."

crazy? Comments By: Medic I hope you realize that this could seriously harm you!   She is right ! Comments By: Sebring Medic: Bleach (chorline) is used in public drinking water to disinfect. Where have you been? Naturally, more than 2-3 DROPS would be dangerous. But it does work and shouldn't hurt you if you use very little with an 8 oz glass of water.   What the hell !!..? Comments By: docter What are you on about bleach cold kill you i hope you dont have children!!!!! It may get rid of the infection but come on there are safer ways that work just as good!!!!! I sincerely hope people dont believe you!!!   Maybe, maybe not.... Comments By: Doc .... but I seriously doubt that the "docter" that can`t spell "doctor" is a doctor.   mad Comments By: kelly that is very very stuid dont ever ever put bleach in your mouth you silly silly people   It's totally safe Comments By: Kristy I recently just came from the dentist. Have severe gum disease. This is just what was recommended. Gargle with 8 oz of water and 1/4 tsp of bleach. If I am using my water pik, I am to use 1 tblsp. and fill the water tank up. It is completely safe and kills all of the bacteria in your mouth. I guess most are not aware that city water is sanitized with chlorine?   Hahaha Comments By: Dane This is comical!! - Honestly it really worries me people of today ha!! Guys I suggest you find an alternative to cutting up your fruit and veg - You see knives can KILL!! Unless your planning on drinking the stuff .. then really you needn't worry haha!   don't swallow Comments By: carmenmarie It is about gargling really! do you swallow mouth wash? you silly people come on use your head here of course drinking bleach will kill you that's not what is suggested. It is called gargling!!! carmen
