Records about Hydrogen Peroxide from the Gone Astray: Elephant care manual for Mahouts and camp managers (Thailand)

Hydrogen Peroxide. A colourless transparent liquid. It can be bought at any pharmacy or veterinary supply store.

Method of use: Use to clean infected and decomposing/rotten wounds that have pus. After application, let it sit for about five minutes before washing off with clean water. Hydrogen peroxide should be used only once or twice at the initial treatment for cleaning the wound in order to clear the pus in a wound.

Warning: Absolutely never use hydrogen peroxide on a fresh wound.
