[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 862156, member: 12607"] SL, I'm not a chemist by training, but the chemistry requirements for my BS in microbiology essentially qualified me as having the equivalent of a minor in chemistry. Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 - reacts with catalase enzyme which is present in red blood cells and some bacteria (if they produce catalase - not all do) and breaks down to water and oxygen - hence the 'bubbling' action you see when you pour it into a wound. I suppose the 02 generated would be toxic to anaerobic bacteria, like [i]Clostridium tetani[/i]. Vetericyn = snake oil, and people who are purchasing that stuff are really getting taken to the cleaners. Literally. The emperor really has no clothes on. Vetericyn is, for all intents and purposes, nothing more than a very dilute solution of chlorine bleach(sodium hypochlorite) in water. Here's the MSDS sheet for Vetericyn, with its list of ingredients(96.2% water): [url=https://www.accessbutler.com/msdsimages/A0004039.pdf]https://www.accessbutler.com/msdsimages/A0004039.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
