Just want to say that if folks on this list get hold of more than the
30% peroxide they ought to be very careful.
I used a combination of chlorine crystals and very conentrated peroxide
to purify drinking water while backpacking ... this method was used by
Buenos Aires for a while I think... and a strong mixture of Peroxide
will burn your fingers...it just sucks them dry so to speak and the
effect lasts for many days and is bothersome. And, be careful of your
eyes.
