My bucket looks nasty, but it tastes OK. I'm going to let it age some more, like fine wine.
if I recall bleach in contact with iron/steel makes acid

Chlorine (as in Clorox bleach) + Iron = Ferric Chloride aka the etchant so many knife makers use.
That bleeding sore may not be due to bacteria but a reaction to the dusts produced from the grinding of various materials. Zinc dust (a component of brass) for instance in a cut can cause some nasty side effects.

I have several books by John(Pondoro)Taylor, a professional hunter from Africa. In one of them, he got sprayed in the eyes by a spitting Cobra. He said he was in so much pain that it was almost unbearable, and his vision was fading fast. His tracker threw him on the ground, and pee'd in his eyes. Taylor said it started to clear up almost immediately.![]()

If the same thing happened in this country, you'd probably go blind, or die.![]()
