Neither should be used on a piercing,both kill the healing tissue. Stick to a sea salt solution. 1/4 of sea salt solution in water as hot as you can stand it. Wipe around it with a qtip with the solution,and do soak salt soaks for 15 min. Then rinse with regular water. Don't sleep on your belly for 6 months,and don't change the jewelery for 6 months.

Does hydrogen peroxide conduct electricity?

Yes, rather well. H2O2 is a really good conductor.


How does hydrogen peroxide remove blood stain?

Hydrogen peroxide breaks down the components of blood stains through oxidation, which helps to lift the stain from the fabric. When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with blood, it reacts with the enzymes and proteins in the blood to break them down, making it easier to clean the stain.

What is hydrogen peroxide therapy?

Hydrogen peroxide therapy involves using diluted hydrogen peroxide solutions for various health purposes, such as disinfection, wound healing, and as a potential alternative treatment for certain diseases. It is important to use caution when using hydrogen peroxide therapeutically, as high concentrations can be harmful and cause side effects. Consulting a healthcare provider before starting any hydrogen peroxide therapy is recommended.


How is hydrogen peroxide harmful?

Yes, and it's also corrosive and would do a lot of damage to the esophagus.Another opinion:While the above may be true for high concentration hydrogen peroxide, it bears noting the antiseptic one buys at the pharmacy is a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and water. At this concentration, it's comparatively harmless, and it would take a huge dose to do any serious harm. In fact, I've seen hydrogen peroxide 3% prescribed as an oral mouthwash-antiseptic. And it would take an amazing amount to reach acute toxicity. That said, it's probably not a good idea to swallow the stuff. So, in answer to the question, small amounts of hydrogen peroxide can be consumed without significant harm (although -- once more -- this is not a good idea).

Does hydrogen peroxide stop foaming when all the infection is gone.?

The foam has nothing to do with infection. Your blood contains a chemical called peroxidase which breaks down peroxides, including hydrogen peroxide. This is what causes the foam. The reason hydrogen peroxide is a good disinfectant is that peroxides in general are very bad for living things. The thing that makes it even better is that you can tolerate it a lot better than bacteria can, because your cells can make peroxidase and unicellular organisms for the most part can't.


Why is hydrogen peroxide a good conductor for electricity?

Hydrogen peroxide is a good conductor of electricity because it contains ions that can move freely, allowing electric current to flow through it. The presence of these ions in the solution makes hydrogen peroxide able to conduct electricity.


Is hydrogen peroxide good for wounds?

Hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean wounds, as it has antiseptic properties that can help prevent infection. However, it may also damage healthy cells and delay healing, so it is generally recommended to use it for initial cleaning only, and then switch to a milder wound-care solution. It is best to consult with a healthcare professional before using hydrogen peroxide on a wound.


In a hydrogen peroxide and yeast experiment what is the purpose of the cups with yeast and nothing?

The cups with yeast and nothing serve as a control in the experiment to compare the rate of reaction when hydrogen peroxide is added. By observing how the control cup behaves without the hydrogen peroxide, we can compare any changes in the cups with yeast and hydrogen peroxide to see the effect of the reaction.


Is hydrogen peroxide good for cuts?

Depending on the severity and cause of the cut, hydrogen peroxide may or may not be useful. It is highly recommended not to use hydrogen peroxide on deep wounds. For small wounds with debris, hydrogen peroxide is useful to dislodge small particles within the wound. In this case, it is recommended to rinse the wound with clean, running water as well.

What are the risks of belly button piercing?

infection! never use peroxide or alcohol to clean your piercing...it will cause the pierced skin to become dry, irritated & may cause a serious infection. I recomend that you get a pro to do your piercing. Basically as long as you take very good care of it you should be fine. Just pay very close attention when you piercer is instructing you on how to care for it. But remember, this is'nt your ear your getting pierced it's your navel so you're gonna have to take really good care of it.


How long do i use magnesium sulphate paste for your belly piercing infection?

There are real reasons why we tell clients not to use Alcohol or Hydrogen Peroxide on there piercings. Both of these products are very hard on the tissue that your body is trying to form. Alcohol tends to over dry the tissue and Hydrogen Peroxide over oxygenates the tissue making it very fragile.You don't need either of these products to clean your piercings. Simple washing the piercing daily and rotating or shuffling the jewellery under warm running water will do wonders for the health of the piercing and will allow the tissue to heal without damaging it.You can on occasion use a unscented liquid antibacterial soap diluted and lathered up to deep clean the piercing while moving the jewellery, but this must be followed by a good warm water rinse while moving the jewellery again to completely rinse the piercing out.But do not use Alcohol or Hydrogen Peroxide, Polysporin, Neosporin, Tea tree oil, Bactine, Worm root, Sea Salt, Table Salt, Epsom Salts or any other chemical or ointment on your piercing unless you are under the direct instruction of your Doctor.Unless you know exactly how to use these products correctly you stand a much better chance of screwing up your piercing.


Is hydrogen peroxide a good conductor of electricity?

Hydrogen peroxide is a poor conductor of electricity as it is a non-metallic compound that does not dissociate into ions in solution. It does not contain free ions that can carry an electric current.


Can you put peroxide on a belly button piercing?

No, when I got my belly button pierced my piercer told me specifically not to use peroxide or alcohol on the piercing. If peroxide or alcohol gets on it, it'll be fine but it dries out your skin which isn't good for healing or cleaning. Use soapy warm water and a sea salt water mixture to throughly clean your piercing, that's what I used, as I was following my piercer's instructions. I've had my piercing for almost 7 months and I've never had a problem with it.
