Next time 'round you might want to skip the bleach (it's reactive with copper, likely even more so with aluminum). If it wasn't, I suspect that that's what we'd all be using...
You may have simply had a reaction to the windshield washer fluid, which (here in the freezing-zone part of the 'states at least) typically has methyl alcohol in it as anti freeze. Methyl alcohol evaporates and is not good for you.
