New York: A new Centres for Disease Control and Prevention report indicates Americans are putting household disinfectants including bleach into their bodies because they believe such practices can ward off coronavirus despite such "preventive" measures being ineffective and dangerous....

According to the CDC, 4 per cent of those surveyed admitted they'd drank or gargled household agents including bleach. A staggering 18 per cent of participants confessed they'd applied cleaning agents to their skin. Nearly 10 per cent inhaled fumes from potentially toxic household disinfectants.

"COVID-19 prevention messages should continue to emphasise evidence-based, safe practices such as frequent hand hygiene and frequent cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces," the report said.

I knew a girl who did drugs pretty regularly that ingested some bleach in an effort to pass a drug test for work. It didn't work.
