Turn the bottle round back and read.

Stop you are killing your baby.
What Is Pica?
The word pica comes from the Latin word for magpie, a bird known for its large and indiscriminate appetite.
Pica is most common in people with developmental disabilities, including autism and mental retardation, and in children between the ages of 2 and 3. Although kids younger than 18 to 24 months can try to eat nonfood items, it isn't necessarily considered abnormal at that age.
Pica is also a behavior that may also surface in children who've had a brain injury affecting their development. It can also be a problem for some pregnant women, as well as people with epilepsy.
People with pica frequently crave and consume nonfood items such as:
dirt
clay
paint chips
plaster
chalk
cornstarch
laundry starch
baking soda
coffee grounds
cigarette ashes
burnt match heads
cigarette butts
feces
ice
glue
hair
buttons
paper
sand
toothpaste
soap
Although consumption of some items may be harmless, pica is considered to be a serious eating disorder that can sometimes result in serious health problems such as lead poisoning and iron-deficiency anemia.

if you have been reading any books than you should have read that the desire to smell, eat or drink non food items could be a medical issue, such as vitamin deficiency

This is called pica. Smelling bleach can make you dizzy, ect. Just please fight the urge to drink it. Pica is a common occurance in pregnant women.

drinking it = killing you. smelling it, not so much
but either way, a desire to drink bleach means you should really see a psyciatrist
