The only time drinking bleach makes sense is disinfecting water, I think the recommended amount is a ~~teaspoon~~ few drops of bleach per gallon of untreated water.

Anything else is woo woo shit.

GAK! That's way too much bleach, my friend! From the epa.gov: if 6% bleach then 8 drops per gallon of water, if 8.25% bleach then 6 drops per gallon.

Please check your numbers when posting stuff like this, it's easy to do, and prevents someone in the future from ~~thinking you are an idiot~~ using a harmful amount of bleach in an emergency.

Woops. Well don’t get your survival info from random people on lemmy who are too lazy to fact check their memory lol.

(It would be helpful if you went back and edited out the incorrect info)

It's common to put bleach in wells to disinfect

Yeah same idea but bigger quantity

And it gets pumped until the bleach is gone before using again.
