Anything to that, that you've heard of - the peroxide skin issues?

Sorry, missed this. Came to bump for an article and came across this. Peroxide oxygenates a wound and also destroys immune cells in the wound helping to fight off infection. It is really on useful if you have no access to sterile water. Not a good idea anyways in my opinion.
