When I had a well, it suffered from sulfur-reducing bacteria. Every
couple of months, I'd pour a gallon of bleach right down the well.
Afterwards, I'd run the water out the garden hose until I couldn't
smell bleach anymore. But I'm sure there was still some in there.

enjoy life, instead of worrying whether a little chlorine is going
to damage a cell here or there.

Do you drink alcohol? It's quite a poison, too.
