Is hydrogen peroxide safe in the veins?
Actually, hydrogen peroxide is very good for you. I wouldn't exactly inject it in my veins, you can get an IV though.

You can buy a humidifier and mix hydrogen peroxide in water in it and breathe it in that way, but other than those, I wouldn't put it directly in my veins.
