Is it effective to treat a wound with peroxide?

June 6, 2022

In short: NO. Only a 30% peroxide solution will have a real disinfecting effect, and not the 3% that is sold in a pharmacy. However, a chemical burn does not last long from a 30% peroxide solution. Which we absolutely do not need. Peroxide is useful only for the mechanical treatment of wounds from dirt and dust, but with the same success it can be treated with ordinary running water. And if the wound is deep, then it can be harmful: oxygen, which is released by peroxide, can enter the vessels and close the bloodstream.
