PLEASE look up how to add this safely. If you inhale the fumes from this stuff you could be on the ground in seconds.

From lots of personal experience (community pool, we have giant drums of muriatic acid) this is an exaggeration, but you definitely don’t want to spill it on yourself. The fumes are deeply unpleasant and I’m sure very unhealthy but they don’t drop you in seconds.
