Hydrogen Peroxide presents a two-fold attack against infection. Not only does it fill the surface germs, it is one of the body’s signaling chemicals. Whenever you get cut or scratched, your body manufactures a trace amount of hydrogen peroxide at the injury site. The white blood cells in your body detect it and seek out the site of the injury. By swabbing a cut with hydrogen you are boosting the signal and making it easier for the white blood cells to locate the injury and get there to fight any infection.
