I was cleaning my slabs in my garden with Hypo (Hydrochloric acid) in diluted form but a reaction happened and a cloud of gas enveloped me causing me to virtually collapse. I more or less suffocated with the gas (chlorine) and just managed to exit the garden stumbling and streaming from my nose eyes and mouth.
The coughing made me vomit explosively and when the emergency services arrived their expertise was extremely efficient. The Fire & Rescue, Hazard Materials response unit, the Serious incident first responders and finally the Ambulance and Hospital staff who looked after me were all totally professional and skilled.
I'm lucky to be here after such a dramatic incident and would like to express my respective thanks to them all. What a fortunate country we live in.
