Good clean pain

My weekend consisted of cleaning, and recovering from same. Recovering? Well, I used a fair quantity of a product called “Exit Mould” to clean the bathroom and it tore the crap out of my throat and lungs, despite wearing a (light) mask, ventilating the area and limiting the duration of my exposure while the spray was lingering in the air. Today, I have finally stopped coughing up blood but am still a little hoarse.

Apparently, I’m not the only one to have had trouble with this product - Choice magazine reported that a substantial proportion of their testers suffered throat or nose irritation when using it. This shouldn’t be surprising, as the active ingredients are bleach and caustic soda :)

Never again.
