Glam Star Hospitalized After Chugging Bleach Mistaken for Water

Actress Bárbara de Regil faced a life-threatening situation after mistaking bleach for water, leading to an emergency hospital visit.

The incident unfolded at her home in Mexico when she grabbed an unlabelled bottle, believing it contained drinking water. She thought it was left behind by her husband, Fernando, and acted without hesitation.

Next to the bottle sat a cleaning bucket, a glaring sign that the liquid was not safe for consumption. Seconds later, she took a large gulp, only to be hit with a harsh chemical taste and a burning sensation.

Realization struck as she understood she had ingested chlorine or household bleach. Panic set in, prompting her to seek immediate medical attention.

Reports indicate that doctors quickly assessed her condition to ensure the corrosive substance hadn’t inflicted serious damage to her throat or digestive system.

After the ordeal, Bárbara reassured her followers that she was safe and stable, describing the experience as a “major scare” rather than a tragedy. She confirmed she was out of danger.

Following medical advice, she warned others against storing cleaning products in unlabelled containers, especially those resembling everyday drink bottles, to prevent similar accidents.

Throughout her recovery, Bárbara has shared updates with fans, stating she is “perfectly fine” and hopes her experience serves as a cautionary tale.

This incident coincides with warnings issued to UK households about pouring certain alcoholic beverages down kitchen sinks. With summer vacations underway, many are indulging in their favorite drinks.
