Huh. (or What I Learned after the Kentucky Tornado)

There are lots of chemicals that shouldn’t even be stored near each other, especially in a disaster relief center where lots of people come through every day. Some are more dangerous than others and are dangerous in your home as well.

NOTE: Don’t store the pallets of bleach next to the pallets of hand sanitizer. An accidental mixture, maybe by forklift puncture, can make chloroform or hydrochloric acid.

Breathing too much [chloroform] can kill you. Hydrochloric acid can give you a chemical burn. The chemicals can cause organ damage and lead to cancer and other diseases later in life.

There are actually several dangerous combinations with bleach and even the go-to “natural” vinegar with which so many clean. Check out a quick list at the ThoughtCo
