what happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide?

Dear student,

Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidising agent . Intake of hydrogen peroxide can cause ;

• corrosive damage to your mouth, esophagus, stomach

• bubbles entering the blood circulation will cause air embolism leading to a stroke

• rapid oxygen gas formation in a hollow organ can cause it to burst

• inhalation could after many hours cause pulmonary edema with shock, coma and convulsions

• on the eye it could severly damage your cornea which could blind you
