Abstract	Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS) is an understudied condition resulting from extensive injury to the respiratory system from the inhalation of corrosive gas, vapor, or fumes. Our study focuses on a 51-year-old African female with exposure to a significant volume of chloride bleach in which RADS symptoms developed. The patient was admitted with a long treatment history; however was unresponsive to usual methods of treatment. Therefore, we report upon the initiation of a Vitamin D regimen incorporated with typical treatment methods a progressive decline in bronchodilators and steroid requirements. Interestingly, the patient was a vitamin D-deficient female able to discontinue all her medications after the complete alleviation of her symptoms subsequent to maintenance of therapeutic Vitamin D level.
