Incomprehensible Actions: #37

Picking up the brown coffee cup full of H₂O₂ to take a sip.

 

.

.....don't worry, I spit it out immediately. Only got a tiny tongue tingle.

 

Hmmm....it might be a good idea to use something other than a coffee cup for soaking filters.

Tongue-cleansing method? Works on filters so why not look for other applictions?

[ulf]

There are quite a lot of other applications for higher strengths than the 3% I guess you tasted.

Bomb-making and rocket fuel are some of them.

I remember when I could buy the 35% H₂O₂ I used as a kid to etch copper, when making DIY circuit boards.

[Alaun]

Teeth bleaching?

[Andrea B.]

Just don't swallow the stuff while teeth bleaching ! Even the 3% can cause some problems if you ingest too much.u

Actually one of the best recipes for toothpaste is sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) freshly made into a paste with hydrogen peroxide.

 

Just remember to spit it out.

 

Clearly you need to give up coffee Andrea. Its just too hazardous. Freshly sliced Ginger boiled and drank is better and much better for you. I gave up coffee after my second was born.

 

 

 

[photoni]

I use it a lot ...

to quickly oxidize blueprints ...

and after making a ceramic implant for a new tooth

[Cadmium]

Actually, some toothpaste has hydrogen peroxide in it, arm and hammer brand does.

[JCDowdy]

The obvious problem is that you used a brown coffee cup.

 

Come to think of it so do I, wait, aakk ...... cough ...... thump

This is like The Court Jester: “the pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon. The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.”

 

[colinbm]

I have gargled with H2O2 before.....I just couldn't believe that one oxygen atom could taste that foul !

[Andy Perrin]

I use H2O2 3% on canker sores. It seems to make them clear up faster.

[Bill De Jager]

I'm feeling better about my many mental lapses these days.

I've always been such a good Bad Example for others. :lol:
