Yes, I would have to dilute it in circumstances where it could affect the taste of food. I've used diluted bleach a couple of times to clean food packaging before putting it into the fridge, and so far I've avoided any hint of bleach in the flavour of the food.

@Jonathan Edwards Thank you. :)

If you are cleaning kitchen work surfaces or sinks or any other surface that needs to be kept as clean as possible which of the following would you trust the most - disinfectant or bleach? https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/255279694...

I think there are some mistaken beliefs about masks in the UK (I'm basing this on a conversation I had with others before covid-19 existed). Many people assume that masks primarily help to reduce the mask-wearer's own risk of catching something. But as far as I can work out the primary use of a...

People have been breaking the isolating and social distancing rules and congregating at a blue pool in Derbyshire, UK because it looks pretty and the weather has been unusually good for the time of year. Police have used an interesting method to make it less appealing ...

This kind of story is what we in the UK are led to believe happens in the USA every single day thousands of times per day, no matter what the disease or injury, or who has the health problem. 1) No insurance = no treatment OR 2) No insurance = treatment + bankruptcy (or at least massive life...

Is there going to be a massive increase in the birth rate nine months after lockdown was imposed in countries around the world? Think of all that unused energy (from not working) and the boredom. I think lots more babies is inevitable.

In my limited experience of psychiatry and therapy, practicality and usefulness in real life of the type that real people want was either completely missing or was never high on the agenda. I remember once I was referred to get CBT in the IAPT system. At the time I was unemployed, broke, sick...

Whatever the truth is, we can be sure that the UK public will be blamed for the spread of the disease and the deaths that occur. The fact that we have no accurate statistics on anything to do with COVID-19 in the UK (apart from possibly deaths, but I would be surprised if even that was accurate)...

I used to have a problem with my muscles locking up - mainly my shoulders and jaw. I could consciously relax them but as soon as I stopped thinking about relaxing my muscles they would lock up again. I've also had a problem for most of my life where my eyelid(s) or sometimes larger muscles...

Referring to the loss of smell and taste in people who get sick, I haven't seen any mention of whether it comes back when the patient recovers. Does anyone know if it does?

I wonder, in a year or two when the outcome of all this is known or can be better predicted, which countries will come out of it having weathered the economic storms the best. I bet the UK won't be in the group that does well.

Today went better than yesterday. The AA fixed our car (needed a new battery - with modern batteries you get no warning of failure), so no heavy lifting of shopping bags today. And the good news is we managed to find soap! Yippee! It was a kind I would normally never buy, but beggars can't be...

Mr Pye and I hit an unexpected snag today when venturing out to try and find food. The car wouldn't start. :mad: So, the walk we planned to do never happened because we were forced to walk to our local big Tesco to get what we could and carry it home. It isn't a long way away if all I am going...

I'm running low on food - my husband and I have never been people who kept enormous amounts of food and other household supplies in stock because we don't have much storage space. Are we going to be forced to go out several times a day to every supermarket and small shop in the area, exposing...

Just out of curiosity, does standard epilepsy treatment help the cat?

My emphasis : I wonder where the psychological aspect is in, for example, suffering from appendicitis? The only place I can imagine psychology getting involved is after surgery and discovering that the diagnosis was wrong, or being diagnosed so late that sepsis sets in. The psychological...

My parents approach to illness in their children involved finding two things - visible symptoms and a raised temperature. If these didn't both exist then the child was lying.

I'm only guessing, but if the shelves are largely empty and Tesco doesn't have much to sell then keeping an entire staff employed and a large shop open may be a waste of money for them.

I did read yesterday that many Tesco shops that are currently open 24 hours a day are actually going to start closing at 10pm and opening at 6am or 7am so that staff can re-stock overnight. One of the problems I have is that my storage space is very limited, so even if I wanted to stockpile...
