Question: what to do if you have inhaled javex which was unknown to me in a toilet bowl? Once I lifted the lid up it just about knocked me over but my nose is burning and feels like it is scabbed inside?

Fresh air and rest, nothing more

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. First of all, please make sure you are in an area with fresh air continuously. Avoid contact with the area fumes in all possible ways.

Please do not try to throw up or do anything else at this moment. Other than this I do not think there should be anything else to worry about. Make sure you breathe fresh air for a while and also try to take a nap or just lay in bed for a while.

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.

Best wishes.
