The new skin tissue did seem to heal better, look pinker and moister. After awhile just plain Normal saline was the best . However this was all after the reallly bad infection was cleared out. Just plain moist Normal Saline after the wound was clean healed most wounds beautifully. sol <sol...@sweetwaterhsa.com> wrote: I think the amount of H202 one would add to EIS is small enough not to be a problem even if one believes H202 is a problem. I myself still believe straight 3% H202 is a perfectly good wound flush for immediate first aid, and I would also have no hesitation to use it on an infected wound where I wanted to debride the pus and infected cells off the wound. It does kill new cells, but I personally never have continued to use it on a non-infected healing wound, nor do I know anyone else who has. I think perhaps they don't like peroxide because it is cheap and effective?
