The correct recommendation regarding bleach is:

A. If swallowed, call a poison control center and take a large amount of milk or water.

This is the safest course of action if bleach is ingested. The other options contain misleading or dangerous information:

  • B is incorrect; bleach can cause skin irritation and should not be considered safe for skin.
  • C is incorrect; rubbing eyes after contact with bleach can cause further irritation or damage. It's important to flush the eyes with water immediately and seek medical attention.
  • D is incorrect; mixing bleach with other chemicals can create harmful reactions, such as toxic gases (e.g., mixing bleach with ammonia produces chloramine vapors).

Always refer to the specific safety instructions provided on the bleach label for accurate guidance.
