hydrogen peroxide healing ping
No household should be without that brown bottle of HP.
Shhhh Homeland Security will think its a new Terrorist Group.
Besides the brown bottle, there is also food grade HP available in concentrated form that you can keep in your freezer and dilute whan you want. Common HP is 3%. This comes in 35% concentrate. You just dilute it with water. I use it in mouthwash, on my cutting boards, sponges etc. for disenfecting. I like it better than bleach on cutting boards because it is food grade and bleach scares me a little. It may be hard to find but I got mine on the internet.
Bump and mark...
I've always been a H202 fan, and thought there was some degree of 'magick' involved with it.
I’m paranoid about my cuts and bug bites getting infected. I used to clean them with alcohol. Now I mostly use peroxide.
Cheers!
I find the call to “White Blood Cells” insulting. I would hope that a wise old Red Blood Cell could actually fight off infection better than a White Blood Cell.
Anyone who has felt the sting as hydrogen peroxide foams and fizzes on a scraped knee knows about the compound's antiseptic properties. But new research suggests that hydrogen peroxide does more than just kill microbes. It may also call for reinforcements, summoning an army of bacteria-fighting cells to cuts and wounds. Punctured skin sets off a chain reaction of chemical signals that activates blood-clotting and attracts an array of immune cells to guard against intruding microbes. Some of these cells, known as leukocytes, or white blood cells, kill by initiating a "respiratory burst," which releases highly reactive antimicrobial molecules, including hydrogen peroxide produced by the body itself.Interesting. Thanks neverdem.
