Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Increasing doses of commercial NaClO products as Dakin´s hypochlorite
 (bleaching powder) were injected into mice i.p. and into guinea pigs subcutanously and i.p.
The smallest fatal dose was tested.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
Dakin´s hypochlorite solution given i.p. is 2-3 times as toxic for the
 guinea pigs as for the mouse.
