Peroxide is actually not what does the healing. When you put Hydrogen Peroxide (chemical formula: H2O2) on your wound, it is separated into water and oxygen by the enzyme catalase. The catalase ONLY targets the hydrogen peroxide, and some of the bacteria is forced out with the oxygen (visually seen as the fizzing).
THE TRUTH: Peroxide actually doesn't do much for you at all. To get a decent effect, get 4-6 cotton swabs, and wet them with water THEN Peroxide. the water will act as a mode of "transportation" for the bacteria to get out of the cut. This will slightly increase the effectiveness of a SINGLE cotton swab... which is still not much!

Both peroxide and iodine can be used to clean wounds, but their effectiveness depends on the type of wound. Peroxide is good for lifting dirt and debris from the wound, while iodine is better for killing bacteria. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for the most appropriate treatment for your specific wound.
When you put an apple in peroxide, the peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen gas. The oxygen gas bubbles that form might cause the apple to float to the surface. This reaction does not cause significant harm to the apple.
That really depends upon the severity of the wound. If it is healing nicely, you can stop applying hydrogen peroxide. If it is not healing nicely, you should consult a doctor, who may prescribe an antibiotic or other medical remedies (a sufficiently serious wound could even require surgery).
It is generally recommended to use hydrogen peroxide on a wound only once to clean it and prevent infection. Repeated use can delay healing and damage new skin cells. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper wound care.
yes, but it won't do much
You can. Peroxide is probably not going to help a whole lot with the "spider bite" part, but it could help keep the wound from becoming infected.
1st you want to put peroxide on the wound 2nd put Neosporin and a bandied and woo-la fixed

Yes, it's good if peroxide bubbles on a wound as it indicates that the peroxide is working to kill bacteria and clean the wound. However, it's important to use peroxide sparingly and not to overuse it as it can also damage healthy tissue.
Try it. The best way to learn is to try it yourself.
No, it means the peroxide is decomposing. You see this when you pour hydrogen peroxide into a wound because your body naturally produces a protein called peroxidase that catalyzes the decomposition of peroxides. This is why small amounts of hydrogen peroxide don't kill you: your body has a natural mechanism for dealing with it. Bacteria, for the most part, do not produce peroxidase, so they're highly susceptible to the effects of peroxides.
no i dont think it can
The recommended first aid steps for treating a wound exposed to peroxide are to immediately rinse the wound with water to remove any remaining peroxide, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover the wound with a sterile bandage. It is important to monitor the wound for signs of infection and seek medical attention if necessary.
