Household Dangers

This post is off-topic from the usual here, but there's quite a horrific story out of nearby Evansville, which you can read here:

Picking up the phone to report a gas leak in your house isn’t smart either. A small spark is created in many phones, which can ignite the gas in your home.

People who put bleach in their toilet to soak is probably a bad idea, too, given ammonia in urine causes a poisonous gas to be formed. You may want to watch mixing cleaners in general due to this and other chemical reactions possible. For example, Windex has ammonia in it.
