Lost my sense of smell-cleaning with bleach

Know any remedies, how long it'll take to heal if it does...?

^see that there? That's a question. If you don't have the answer obviously don't bother posting, unless you're trying to antagonise me which I obviously will respond to.

You lost your smell as in your natural smell, or lost your sense of smell? Or your pet ant called smell? :s

I was kidding, calm down :unimpressed:


The best thing to do is to just go outside for quite some time, and keep whichever room you cleaned ventilated.

Oh come on it was just a LITTLE bit funny...
Do you mean you've just done some cleaning with bleach, or you've been using bleach to clean for a while and gradually your sense of smell has gone? If the former, probably just until the fumes get out of your nostrils - might be best to get away from the area for a while. If the latter... who knows, sounds like a GP matter tbh.

It's not ****ing funny when you're sat around not able to smell, breathe or taste?! Asking a serious question here and you're taking the piss.

...I don't see how the bold part is different to choose a former or latter. I lightly tossed some bleach on the walls and floor and mopped. My eyes burnt like **** and I ran outside and brought all my little siblings out and as I was closest I was the only one who began to feel light headed and now I can't smell...

So it's a one-off incidence then - I was referring to whether it was that, or whether you'd been using bleach regularly to clean for months or maybe years and the loss of smell had come on gradually. In which case, yeah, just stay away from the bleach for a while, you've probably just inhaled one too many doses of fumes. If you feel that bad though then obviously an ambulance is probably wise.

Don't apologise.

OP should go to an A&E area.

An ambulance for my nose? I know what to do in case of an emergency, it's hardly an emergency. Just wanna know how long it'll go on for. Obviously this was directed to anyone who has experienced it before, so they could say "yea I had it, it lasts x amount of hours, days..."

you don't have to post if you're not sure yano
