Thanks! Although I don't think I have ever had a rash that looked quite
like that, bleach does cause respiratory problems for me and also for my
mom. I was at their house some years ago and we had no clue what my dad was
doing outside. But all of a sudden, both us had respiratory problems. He
knew that I had issues with bleach. He would tell me that he was going to
clean the sink with Babbo. It wasn't Babbo. Not sure what it was but it
did have bleach in it. I had to ask him to warn me before he did this so I
could go outside.

Well this time he was outside of the open window. They had a split level
and we were on the upper floor directly above where he was. He was using
bleach and hot water. I got my usual symptoms and my mom wound up in the ER
later where she was diagnosed with asthma. All from the bleach.

I don't do well around enclosed swimming pools either. Some are okay
depending on what chemicals they use in them. But others cause me breathing
trouble and I can't go near them for any length of time.
