Mixing Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide Safety

On the safety of mixed use of alcohol and hydrogen peroxide
In recent times, people have paid more and more attention to medical and pharmacological matters, and often study the advantages and disadvantages of mixed use of various drugs. Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are both common things, but whether they can be mixed or not is really related to personal safety and cannot be ignored.

Alcohol has been used throughout the ages, either as a drink or for medical disinfection. Its warm nature can pass blood vessels and perform medicine. And hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name hydrogen peroxide, is often used as a disinfectant and antiseptic agent in the medical field, which can kill common bacteria.

However, if wine and hydrogen peroxide are mixed, there is a great risk. When the two meet, or cause complex chemical reactions. The main ingredient in wine is ethanol, which is reducing, while hydrogen peroxide is strongly oxidizing. Mixing the two, or causing a violent reaction, generates unknown and potentially harmful substances. Such substances may cause strong irritation and corrosion to human skin, mucous membranes, etc., harming health.

And from a pharmacological point of view, the mixed use of the two not only makes it difficult to achieve the expected disinfection and other effects, but also easily interferes with each other's inherent pharmacological properties. Medical disinfection requires precise pharmaceutical effects. Mixing them in this way is like throwing in prescriptions indiscriminately, and the efficacy is unpredictable, increasing the risk.

Therefore, if you want to protect your own health, do not mix wine with hydrogen peroxide easily. If there is a medical need such as disinfection, follow the guidance of a doctor and use the corresponding medication correctly and rationally to ensure safety.
