@orangejuice Welcome to Mayo Connect I am sorry to hear about your symptoms, but also puzzled. The numbness you describe is not a known effect from exposure to bleach on your skin or by breathing the fumes. Was the bleach mixed with ANY other cleaner or substance? That can complicate the issue.

Disseminated neuropathy can be caused by many things. Have you seen your primary care provider?

I have. They told me to close my eyes, tried to lift my fingers up and down and told me if i could feel anything. I told them I can, but, if they were to pinch my palm, i can’t feel pain.
