Bleach can cause respiratory problems like difficulty in breathing, coughing, throat irritation, and wheezing. This is more common when bleach is inhaled in high concentrations or for long periods.
This refers to a red, itchy rash or hives that occur when your skin comes into direct contact with bleach. This may cause significant discomfort and itching.
If bleach comes into contact with the eyes, it can cause burning, irritation, redness, and potentially blurry vision. These symptoms can be severe and immediate medical attention should be sought.
Ingestion or inhalation of bleach can cause feelings of nausea or instances of vomiting. This can lead to dehydration and other serious health issues if not addressed properly.
If undiluted bleach makes contact with the skin, it can cause chemical burns or blisters. These can be both painful and potentially lead to further infection if not treated properly.
Exposure to bleach, particularly in a poorly ventilated area, can lead to headaches and feelings of dizziness. This is often due to the strong fumes that bleach releases.

One of the most straightforward ways to avoid a bleach allergy is by not coming into direct contact with it. Use gloves when cleaning or handling bleach, and avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, while using it. High-quality latex or vinyl gloves can protect your skin from irritation.
If you suspect you are allergic to bleach, it is best to use alternatives instead. Many natural cleaning products are just as effective but don’t contain bleach or other harsh chemicals. For example, vinegar, baking soda, or borax can be used as natural disinfectants and cleaning agents.
Adequate ventilation in the room where you’re using bleach can considerably reduce your risk of allergic reactions. The release of chlorine gas when using bleach can cause respiratory problems. Hence, ensuring an open window or an active exhaust fan can be essential when using bleach.
Limited exposure might help in reducing bleach allergy symptoms. Try to limit the time spent around bleach and clean with it less frequently. If you must use bleach, try to do so for short periods and take frequent breaks to limit your exposure.
