Would this be dangerous?

6 Comments

Hydrogen peroxide is use to clean cuts and infections. When you get things like boils/cysts its basically infection, bacteria, puss and blood. If you were to inject something like this with peroxide would it fix it or does this sound like a dangerous idea? http://youtu.be/ZCOOULOL1vU This is what happens when you inject it into a tick. So if you injected it into something like a cyst would it pop?

No this is a dangerous idea 33
Yes its a good idea it will just clean it 4

    Hydrogen peroxide doesn't actually kill the bacteria. It brings it away from the surface of the object. The chemical itself turns into water and oxygen gas, so if you injected a cyst with it it would definitely pop and all the gross liquids plus the water, oxygen, and still reacting/unreacted hydrogen peroxide would be a mess on you. Painful. Unsafe. Leaves wounds open to infection. Please do not do this.

    Whenever considering other ways to treat cysts, ask yourself why hospitals don't employ the same methods.

    It won't completely kill you. It turns to water and oxygen gas thanks to an enzyme produced in your liver, which also runs through your blood.

    It basically just makes it swell up until it eventually pops. Yeah it would pop but it may make it more open to infection.

    The actual benefits of using hydrogen peroxide on injurys are controversial. Sense it kills both bacteria and blood cells that fight infection. I wouldnt recommend injecting it into your boil. Could be opening yourself up to greater harm. There are better solutions.
