Never, ever, ingest bleach. Don't even let it get in your mouth as it will cause severe burns. Most commercial bleach products are solutions of 3 to 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in water. This has a pH of about 11, so bleach is very alkaline. The primary effects are severe irritation and corrosion of mucous membranes, with pain and inflammation occurring esophagus and GI tract. There may be some swelling from edema as the result is basically like a burn. It's unusual for anyone to ingest a large amount because of the very bad taste, and usually there is spontaneous vomiting of any small amount swallowed. When bleach mixes with hydrochloric acid in the stomach, hypochlorous acid is formed. The body can handle small amounts of this as the blood will buffer it. Ingestion of household bleach does not usually cause lasting damage nor is it seriously toxic. The treatment is dilution with water, milk, or perhaps antacids. Commercial (industrial) bleaches, could be much more serious.

What are the side effects of bleach added to well water?

That depends entirely on how much and what kind of bleach. A gallon of your common domestic bleach poured into a well will totally dissipate within a few hours, yet will have killed many microbes in the water. Domestic bleach is usually about 2% chlorine. When I clean a contaminated well I use 68% granulated chlorine and it kills all biological impurities, yet will disappear in about 3-4 days and cause little side effects. Naturally, people cannot drink the water during this period.
