Just a couple drops. Hydrogen peroxide is an unstable chemical compound - essentially water with an extra oxygen. When added to water, the extra oxygen molecule literally explodes off, leaving water with a little extra oxygen in it. Good for growing plant roots in water.

Too much though, its caustic to living material. Have you ever poured hydrogen peroxide on a cut? Fizzle, fizzle. That little exposition is busy destroying the healthy tissue from around your cut.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
