This is what happens when you have an idiot president make disinfectant suggestions to his followers that aren't the brightest bulbs of the bunch. Someone help I'm living in nation surrounded by idiots!
It was a small study of only 500 so let's just hope they just ran into a few outliers. Washing fruits and vegetables with bleach, inhaling vapors from cleaners and gargling/drinking bleach.... Also people potentially making chlorine gas by mixing vinegar with bleach (I'm sure some also tried ammonia and bleach). What is wrong with these people?

"However, there were dangerous gaps in their knowledge. For example, only about one-third said that bleach should not be mixed with vinegar. This mixture can produce chlorine gas, which can cause irritation of the eyes, throat and nose and potentially lead to breathing problems, Live Science previously reported.
What's more, 39% of participants said they had engaged in potentially harmful cleaning practices in the last month in an effort to prevent COVID-19. For example, 19% said they had used bleach to wash food items such as fruits and vegetables, which is not recommended because ingesting bleach is hazardous. (People should use plain water to wash fruits and vegetables, Live Science previously reported.)
In addition, 18% reported using household cleaners or disinfectant products on their hands or skin, 10% reported misting their body with a cleaning or disinfectant spray, 6% reported inhaling vapors from household cleansers or disinfectants and 4% reported drinking or gargling diluted bleach solutions."
