In: 26
Basically, your stomach is a harsh environment and so is able to handle acid, caustic agents like bleach, and other toxins that work by physically damaging your tissue much better than things the toxin might encounter on its way back up, like your throat, sinuses or lungs if you accidentally inhale.
Most dangerous substances people keep around the house, like cleaning agents and detergents, contain corrosive chemicals like bleach or sodium hydroxide, so you end up seeing that warning more often than not
