http://www.somethingawful.com/news/hydrogen-peroxide/ Answer: because that poo poo is bad to put on your wounds. It's so powerful it kills skin cells, which slows healing and can lead to scarring. And having dead skin cells inside your wound can lead to...infections. You can dilute the poo poo out of it to make it actually useful, but a solution of povidone iodine is much better for disinfecting wounds of all kinds. Public service announcement.

This information goes against everything I believe to be true. I will need time to process. My memories from elementary school tell me that iodine is both brutally painful and also humiliatingly orange. Is this correct? Note: I was/am a huge baby. Also, I'm added people's new descriptions of the taste and they're really funny.

One day I noticed that my hydrogen peroxide bottle said it could be used as an "oral debridement agent". I didn't know what "debridement" meant, so I Googled it. Never GIS "debridement".

It's cheap, yet this contact cleaning solution which is just hydrogen peroxide costs 20 bucks, just so you can have a squeeze nozzle.

Don't be telling people to use iodine willy-nilly you idiot, that poo poo can gently caress some people up bad. Watching someone go into Anaphylactic shock because you swabbed them with iodine is a great way to ruin your day.

My world view has been so challenged that last week I cut my finger, and I've just sort of let it swell up with infection. It's bright red and burning at about fifteen degrees warmer than the rest of my body. I hope you're happy.

InterceptorV8 posted:WHOA WHOA WHOA MOTHERFUCKER. Iodine is an extremely common substance, you're not likely to be allergic to it. Much less experience an anaphylactic reaction. That's airplane-crash levels of unlikely. Besides, you're supposed to water it down. A tiny bit of P-iodine goes a long way.

If you go to a doctor with some sort of infected wound the first thing they'll do is smear the entire package on it. Then they tell you to buy one yourself because why didn't you use it after you cut yourself in the first place you idiot

About 15 years ago I received a rather nasty 2nd degree burn to my hand from lighting a fire using methylated spirit's while a bit high. Who would have thought fire would jump from my parent's fireplace to the vapor wafting from the bottle. Anyway every 2nd day the local nurse would peel off the beeswax dressings wash my hand down with a peroxide solution which would froth and look really cool without any pain. Within a few weeks nice healthy pink skin had regrown. Another peroxide success story - my cat had a giant abscess at the time and we couldn't afford a large vets bill and well peroxide fixed the nasty gaping wound in my cat.

Hydrogen Peroxide is good to have around in case your dog ingests something bad news. Mix it with peanut butter and the dog will puke. It should be a new unopened bottle though as it loses its strength after sitting opened.

HP is fine. Yeah, it kills skin cells, but that's why you thoroughly wash wounds after using it and keep it bandaged after. You're not Goku, you're not trying to instant regenerate with a senzu bean, you gently caress the wound up worse temporarily to prevent it from getting much worse later.

To think that the Germans built entire factories in Norway to manufacture this stuff during World War 2 (later sabotaged by freedom fighters), and here we are buying it at Walgreens and swabbing our wounds with it like it's normal water.
