Oh, sorry -- I wasn't trying to say that it doesn't do the trick.  The live
flesh I was talking about was the healthy tissue in a wound -- the peroxide
does attack it, but not enough to cause visible foaming.  But if there's a
bacterial plaque or other such stuff that needs to be debrided, the stuff
goes nuts.  My main point was that I thought people might get scared of the
stuff because of all the precautions you were describing.  Again, sorry for
the confusion.
