Twitch	Nothing---you don't have to worry about it. Although bleach is great at killing germs in water and on surfaces, it actually isn't very toxic if ingested. As long as it is less than a cup full you'll probably be fine. It is a base (alkaline) so if you had a fair bit, have something slightly acidic (lemonade, milk, cola) if you get a bit of a stomach ache. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
