 Re: Hydrogen peroxide and reeds

Basically, it will kill mold, bacteria, or virii. Its a good way to keep on using a favorite "old" reed safely after you've been sick or if its gotten moldy. However, it won't restore a reed, it will instead break it down even more.

If your reeds are getting moldy, you have a bigger issue that you need to solve more fundamentally, though. Peroxide won't revive a reed that has died of natural causes (use, saliva-based breakdown), though.

Peroxide is a bleaching agent, and the burns will look like patches of bleached skin, and will itch.

In the concentrations you buy at the drug store (Medical is 1.5-3%, Hair is 6%), the danger is minimal. Just rinse any off of your skin immediately. You never need anything stronger than 3% for this, 1.5% will do the job fine. ReedLife is based on peroxide and has some additives that do the other work.
