Yes, most dishwasher detergents do contain bleach, but I don't think in the
concentration laundry bleach does. The bleach smell doesn't bother me at
all.

Sage words. Chlorine gas was known as "mustard gas" in WWI. A nasty and
very dangerous weapon.

Bullshit. Mustard gas is totally different. As for the dangers of
bleach and chlorine, do you swim in swimming pools? What do you think
they use to keep the bacteria down?

For white linens and clothes, yes. In a more diluted state, some people do
use it for light colors. The brand, Clorox, also makes a non-chlorine
bleach specifically for colored fabrics.

Antibiotics and kemotherapy can kill the bactiria in septic tanks.

Hmmm... Never thought about that. Luckily, I rarely take antibiotics and
have been lucky enough so far to not need chemotherapy.

I wouldn't waste my time O.
Being chastised by rfc's expert on literally everything is almost like
a badge of honour. Particularly when this expert's posts are rife with
errors in spelling, grammar, semantics, syntax, etc., etc., not to
mention they often contain incorrect information.
Using the short paragraph shown above as an example, rather than try
to use fancy words, I might say:
Just a little detail; there is no such word as surplants (sic) and
using such a non-word makes one appear uneducated and calls into
question one's credibility.
