The Morbidity and Mortality Report came after news that poison control centers have received increased calls regarding exposure to bleach and other cleaning products during the coronavirus. To learn more, the CDC conducted an online survey of more than 500 adults over the age of 18. While the group seemed informed on topics like hand-washing and how to use personal protective gear, many were unsure about how to correctly use disinfects — and revealed partaking in dangerous practices.

Specifically, the CDC found that 39 percent of the survey respondents had “engag[ed] in at least one high-risk practice not recommended by the CDC for prevention of SARS-CoV-2.” Among them, 19 percent had used bleach on food items, 18 percent had used household cleaning products on the hands or skin, 10 percent had “misted their body” with a cleaning or disinfectant spray, six percent inhaled vapor from household cleaners and four percent had either ingested or gargled “bleach solutions, soapy water and other cleaning ... solutions.”

Wow.
