Sol, you are correct. 35% H2O2 is dangerous. I usually handle it only with
rubber (dishwashing) gloves on.
However, I once got some on my fingers, which turned white, but I quickly
rinsed them with water and they were soon perfectly ok again. Above all,
never get it in your eyes, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Why do I have it? Because I have found that adding about a cup or cup and a
half to my bath for a long soak has noticeable benefits, especially if I
feel a cold or flu coming on (again, don't get the bath water in the eyes).
I do that in addition to drinking extra CS. I also put Epsom salts in the
bath with the h2o2.
Dee, 11 to 1 is the correct ratio for turning 35% to 3%.
Take a 1/4 cup measurer (that should be 2 oz), fill it with 35% h2o2, put it
in a 24 oz bottle (mason jar?), then fill the jar the rest of the way with
distilled water. That should be a 3% solution. But watch out, because three
percent of real h2o2 is much livelier (read more active) than 3% from the
drug store based on my experience. It will turn your skin white if given a
chance, but that is not damaging, just rinse it off and it will soon return
to normal. Drug store h2o2 will do that too, just not as readily. By the
way, 35% should be refrigerated to maintain potency, but I have kept it in
my basement during the summer and it did not weaken noticeably - however,
you need to leave the top loose so that it can outgas, otherwise you might
have an exploding bottle.

Plus my opinion is also
influenced by the fact that even 3% peroxide on my skin straight burns me,
and I am scared of the 35%. Third influence is that my husband won't have
the 35% in the house.............I am terminally clumsy, and have tendon
and joint problems in my hands to boot, so any substance of such
potential for damage is an accident waiting to happen with me handling it.
