Plus, tank cleaners can have lots of other chemicals mixed in, like trace amounts of arsenic, mercury, and lead.
The main chemical in it is sometimes used by doctors to treat a specific condition that helps deliver oxygen to different parts of the body.
But if you just start drinking tank cleaner, it’s easy to ingest a toxic amount, especially if you’re on certain medications. For example, it’s even deadlier for people on anti-depressants.
