I was cleaning my bathroom with Clorox bleach spray and kind of went overboard with it. Now, for the last 4 hours, all I can smell is bleach. I even took a nap hoping I'd get better, but when I woke up, I still smelled the bleach. Then, out of nowhere, I got these really bad lower abdominal pains and ended up vomiting an hour later. My stomach doesn't hurt as much now, but it's still uncomfortable. Should I be worried and maybe go to the emergency room, or is it better to just try and relax until it passes?

Based on your symptoms of severe lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and prolonged exposure to bleach fumes, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These symptoms could indicate chemical exposure and potential irritation or damage to your gastrointestinal tract. I recommend going to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can take activated charcoal to help absorb any remaining toxins in your stomach. The usual dosage for activated charcoal is 25-100 grams for adults.

What could cause someone to pass away if they were laying on their side in the recovery position with blood that had come from their mouth and coagulated on the floor, and had a greyish skin color with a deep purple bruise on their forehead or cheek? I noticed they were told to start compressions until the ambulance arrived, but when I tried to roll them, they barely moved. I'm really concerned, and I'm trying to understand what might have happened.

Based on the description, possible causes of death could include cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, or a severe head injury, potentially caused by a fall or blunt trauma, which may have resulted in the observed bruise and stiffness in the body; other potential causes could include a pulmonary embolism, stroke, or an aneurysm, but a thorough investigation, including an autopsy and toxicology report, would be necessary to determine the exact cause of death.

Alright, so yesterday around 1:30 PM, I got the Covid-19 vaccine. Then, a few hours later, I fell off my bike and got some scrapes and bumps on my leg and hand. I went to the closest clinic to get my wounds looked at, and the doctor there told me I should get a tetanus shot within 24 hours. Im wondering, is it really necessary to get it in that exact time frame, or is there some flexibility? Can I get the tetanus shot within 48 hours instead? What should I do?
