I was wondering about that :-)

Here David, let me fix that for you! <GRIN> (typo police...)
Question on H2O2 drops:
Say I wanted to **ADD** 1 drop of 35% H2O2 to 8 oz of CS. Is this the
same as putting about 11 or 12 drops as 3% H2O2 (i.e. 35 divided by 3)?
Also, does it need to be food grade, or is the stuff form walgreen's
okay?
Yes, that would be right, David; 11.667 drops of 3% to deliver as much
H2O2 as 1 drop of 35%.
The only concern with drug store stuff would be the stabilizers often
added to it. Some brands don't even have them, so check the labels and
see if you get lucky. They'd be mentioned if they're there.
Even with stabilizers, however, consider the dilutions you're talking
about:
At 600 drops per ounce (a round number) 12 drops of 3% H2O2 solution is
already diluted (in 8 ounces of water) to 2.5 ppm.
That means the H2O2 contained in that 3% solution would end up diluted
to 350 parts per billion in your final solution.
Unless the stabilizers are present in higher concentrations than the
peroxide is, then the above number is a good upper limit on their
possible concentration.
So I tend to doubt you'd be talking about any serious toxicity with the
kinds of chemicals that would be in a consumer product approved for
topical use. Of course, I could be wrong, so proceed at your own risk.
Be well,
Mike D.
