“On line three, we have Donny from Queens...”

Several months ago, this actually came up in conversation with my daughter.
She works in the ED and sees a little of everything. Somehow we got on the topic of drinking bleach and she pointed out that for a number of years now Clorox Bleach has been non-toxic.
Now, nobody is saying it is tasty or refreshing but you can drink it, within limits, without too much mortal danger. She told me it is actually a fairly regular occurrence for someone to show up at the ED having tried to kill themselves with Clorox. They get nauseous and feel unwell for a while.
Here is an NIH article that discusses some related information.

Now that's some damn fine investigative journalism right there.

They obviously didn't read the NIH article that I pasted just above.
Among other things it says @NIH said >
Household bleach, used according to label directions, including recommended ventilation and protection, is surprisingly non-toxic to humans.

You might want to post the new few sentence. You're worse than the NYT:
Bleach is a common household item used for surface cleaning and disinfection, cleaning clothes, and treating fabric. Household bleach, used according to label directions, including recommended ventilation and protection, is surprisingly non-toxic to humans. This may lead to complacency. Misapplied, especially when mixed with other substances, it can be harmful or even lethal.[6][7][8]
McKenzie et al. reported in a 2010 pediatric study over a 16-year period that just under 270,000 US children (< 5 years of age) were injured by household cleaning products. Bleach was the leading source (37%) and usually by ingestion (63%). A spray bottle was the most common source (40%).

I was surprised to read that the type of gas used by Sylvia Plath to kill herself is no longer used - and that the gas used now is less toxic and that the old method leaving the car running in a closed garage is no longer as likely to be fatal. Sad commentary on the times.

Now begins the imbleachment hearings.

My point was, and is, that bleach is non-toxic, it is. All those sentences back that up.
If you mix bleach with poison, it is poison.

Non toxic if you’re using it to clean shit in a well-ventilated area.
What did the article have to say about injection? What was the N on that test?

Even if the House imbleaches him, there's no way the Senate will vote to disinfect.

It's still toxic even then. Bleach fumes have an LD50.
And sodium hypochlorite is indeed toxic on its own.

Lockdown, week 7.
Americans are debating whether it's OK to drink bleach, based on sarcastic remarks made by a former reality TV host.

I don't know what an LD50 is.
Bleach is non-toxic.
