With a deeply cut finger, you'll want to be thinking about sutures. This isn't a classical First Aid procedure unless you're over 10 hours from help or doing military medic work. In this case, use direct presssure and a sterile gauze (or a few of them) to stop the bleeding, then bandage the gauze in place and transport to someone who can sututre the wound closed. Don't apply any antiseptic at all. In any case, while hydrogen peroxide is an excellent antiseptic, it's harsh on your cells. If I had to disinfect on-scene, I'd prefer to go with Betadyne. However, H2O2 would likely be next on my list. I might first flush a dirty wound with sterile water or normal saline.
Don't use alcohol to disinfect a deep wound.

Why is potassium hydrogen phthalate a good primary standard?
Because Adolf Hitler, according to record, whilst trying to make the atomic bomb, got his finger stuck in himmlers anus. as he removed it, liquid s**T came out in a "spray" form. This was very funny to the other Nazi babies. So Adolf got some potassium hydrogen phthalate and burned the C**ts. Then Adolf said to Himmler "f**k me that's a good primary standard batt!"

How do you make hydrogen peroxide foam?
By putting your finger in it and soaking it. [I don't think this will work unless you have an open cut ;) Catalase is an enzyme contained in blood, and it speeds up (catalyses) the decomposition of H2O2. A drop of blood is what you need - from you, or from a steak! It breaks down into water and oxygen]

Should you put peroxide on a second degree burn?
I have a second degree, possibly third. This happened on July fourth while lighting 3 sparklers at once! Really bad idea! After several days the fluid from the blister on my finger leaked out. I removed the skin left from the blister (which I was told you should NOT do! ) I was told by my mom(she is an RN) to clean with soap and water, apply burn cream( I've been using neosporin) then cover with a sterile bandage. Well I decided I should try cleaning it with peroxide. That was a horrible idea! It burned really bad! It caused a small blister on the raw area of the skin. I rinsed it off immediately and held a towel against my finger till it stopped burning! I had always thought peroxide was good for burns/cuts. I suggest nobody use peroxide on a second or third degree burn. By the way, Do NOT let the burn area dry out. This can cause it to crack and lead to infection!
