What is Hydrogen Peroxide?

Is it good for drinking water for race horses?

A 3 percent concentration of H2O2 applied to your ears will help dissolve stubborn, hardened ear wax. I have been using this for years and have also used it for many of my patients (no, I'm not a doctor). If used too often it can tend to dry the skin out somewhat. Conversely, a tiny amount of oil in the ears also softens up ear wax, thus making it easier to wash away during general cleaning, showering etc.

Who created or discovered hydrogen peroxide and can you give more information on the topic? There is barely anything here I can use. I need this information as if it was an acid, not just as something to help wounds, cuts, or more.

Is it wise to put undiluted hydrogen peroxide on verrucas?

is it safe to be used as a feminine wash? i researched about feminine wash and one of those is H2O2. Are there any studies that proves its safe to use?

You can use hydrogen peroxide to detect if something contains biological traces; it is very efficient for blood and skin. The peroxide then reacts by producing some foam. It stays liquid otherwise. Of course it does not replace advanced tools for criminal investigation.

Just another thing to go wrong to prevent my rest. About 1:30 AM I had to let the dogs out for a quick pee. One minute later I discovered my big dog decided to stick her nose up a skunk's butt Well, the story in comedic form is not going to work well in print.

FYI: wisegeek saved my life, but the vinegar is not necessary. It was just fine to rinse her well. She is just a cleaner shade of the same colors, but I would not have cared if she became blond.

Wash and sniff. Wash and sniff.

FYI: Don't walk through skunk spray on the way to the office to look up remedies for the matter on the internet, because the skunk oil will transfer into the carpet.

If the dosage is potent enough to affect him, then he will probably bring it up. If not you need not worry. If you really feel worried, you can stick your fingers down the dog's throat.

It is safe to put a 3 percent solution into your ear canal to fight infection. Wait for it to stop bubbling before draining. 2-3 times a day has been shown to giver relief to ear pain and possibly associated throat pain.

I used peroxide on my horse's leg wounds and found that the skin began to separate and the wound was actually getting worse, but I myself use it every time I get a cut, but follow up with a wound care lotion. Be careful on using it for horses or dogs.

well, it may work for some people and others not. we are all made differently.

I work in a pharmacy and someone i know asked me to get them 30 percent Hydrogen peroxide. I am wondering what for, at such high concentrations. Anything dangerous that can be done at such high concentrations?

My dog ate something really bad, and the vet told us to use one ounce of hydrogen peroxide for every 20 pounds the dog weighs to induce vomiting. Sure enough, 15 minutes later, right on the clock, my dog vomited everything back up.

does this helps in curing psoriasis which in a skin disease?

what's the main use of this chemical?

Hydrogen peroxide should never be used as a mouthwash at even 3 percent concentration because it damages tissue and causes dry mouth.

Excess use will kill skin cells. But the amount typically used to clean a cut or injury, will do nothing other than clean the cut. Yes, soap and water is almost as effective, but I personally find after using hydrogen peroxide on a cut is, it does not hurt or feel sore or have a red outline (indicating infection) as it did prior.

Anon10245: You, or your pets, can drink hydrogen peroxide. Standard home use of 3-5% isn't going to do anything. Stronger solutions may cause excess gas, and possibly damage if you have preexisting ulcers. Basically all hydrogen peroxide does is break down into pure oxygen and pure water. Oxygen can be corrosive in high concentrations of course, but 3 percent solution -or what you used which was even more dilute isn't going to do anything. Actually 1tbsp of 3-5 percent hydrogen peroxide in 2 cups of water literally isn't going to do anything to anything. All the hydrogen peroxide had probably already broken down because of contaminants in the tap water.

i have been told you can put this in animals' ears. is this true?

look around. don't trust one site. this is incorrect. peroxide is not good for cuts or mouth wash. the burn feel over cuts is because it kills living skin.

I would like to know, is it dangerous to use Hydrogen Peroxide in your ears to either clean them or to help fight off colds and soar throats?

Hydrogen peroxide is good to keep next to the laundry detergent. It is helpful in removing blood stains from clothing.

Would Hydrogen peroxide work as a replacement for alcohol in an antibacterial hand sanitizer? If not, would using it as the base with a small amount of alcohol make it equivalent to all alcohol?

Thanks

I heard that animal messes could be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide. Instructions were to put a little in water. I used about 2 cups of water and about 1 tbs of H.P. then cleaned the area -it worked nice but the dog drank the solution. Is there a remedy for drinking it I can't seem to get into a vet until monday.
