Don't EVER drink hydrogen peroxide. I am not a chemist, but I do =
operate a swimming pool as a day job. I know enough about chemistry to =
know that hydrogen peroxide (an oxidizer), in the presence of an acid =
(hydrochloric acid, which is in your stomach) could possibly explode. =
Like I said, I am no expert, but unless I miss my guess, drinking =
peroxide is no joke. I am waiting to hear from my chemistry department =
on this, as I write.
