While it is true that hydrogen peroxide is and acid, it is only a very weak acid.

It can cause burns because it is an oxidizer. Other oxidizers, such as silver nitrate can have similar effects.

If you burned yourself with it you most likely used too high of a concentration, were in contact with it too long, or both.

Can you get pregnant if you leave the patch on without taking it off for 6 weeks?

The patch has to be changed each week. You can change the patch weekly for six weeks, without a week off, if you like. If you do that, there's no additional risk of pregnancy. If you leave the same patch on for six weeks, you could get pregnant.

What is produced when hydrogen peroxide and yeast are mixed?

Yeast does not react with hydrogen peroxide but it is a catalyst. Hydrogen peroxide (H202) decomposes into H2O and O2. This is always happening but at a very low rate so you don't notice it. If you add yeast to hydrogen peroxide it will speed up the decomposition of H2O2. However the yeast does not react with the H2O2 and nothing is chemically altered in the yeast. That is because yeast is a catalyst.

How do you use detox foot paste?

Always apply the detox foot paste patch to clean, dry feet. Apply the patch to the top, arch, or heel of each foot. Leave the patch on overnight while you sleep. In the morning, remove the patch and check the color. If the patch is dark, the next night apply the patch to the same body part, as more toxins need to be removed.


Can stopping the birth control patch cause your period to be brown or black?

Yes, you can expect an unusual period the first one or two times you bleed after stopping the patch. Your subsequent period will probably be more like those you had before you started the patch.


Can you only wear the patch for 2 weeks to make period come earlier?

No. You will only bleed for the usual amount of days. The problem is that if you leave the patch off for more than a week, you run the risk of pregnancy. You shouldn't remove the patch early, but if you do, count this as your fourth week and put the new patch on after 7 days.
