h2o2 bath with well water high in iron?

[Guest guest]

Hello List,

I want to do a h2o2 bath, but I have well water that is really high

in iron. A gallon jug of it looks rust colored. Could anyone tell me

if this iron will absorb into my body and be bad for me? Or will it

react badly with h202? Its pretty scary looking water.

Best Wishes!

Hi Pete, the hydrogen peroxide will not reach with the well

water. I have had good results with city water and HP. so a

little rusty water should be ok.

just my 2 cents

Hi Pete, You can get carbon block filters for bath and shower. Cost is about

$40. The one I use is a TerraFlo. Don't know if they have a web site or not.

If you are interested I will find their file and see if I have a phone number.

But it will remove the iron and other things that you can't see.

Thanks Donna,

I don't think that would do it for my water because it would get

clogged really fast . I have a ridiculously LARGE amount of iron in

my water. If I spray the ground with it for a few minutes, the sandy

ground becomes reddish. Plants in the yard get a rust colored hue if

I water them for a while. I've heard that iron is very toxic in large

quantities if it is taken internally. My grandfather died because the

doctor gave him too many iron supplements (or so my Dad says). I

don't know if it can be absorbed through the skin, but that is what

I'm trying to find out about.

Best Wishes!

You might consider some of the magnetic treatments for water. As I understand

it, magnets are placed on the water lines and they keep iron and other metals

from proceeding through the pipes.

Yes, iron becomes toxic when one gets too much.

Wow,

That IS a lot of iron!!

I had a friend who had so much sulfer in his water, that it would clog up his

filter rapidly.

Off the top of my head, how about trying to trap some of it with the powerful

magnets available on the net? Then filtering?

Yes, iron supplements are to be treated with great caution.

Hi Dr. Pressman,

I think the iron in my water is already oxidized because it is in the

form of iron oxide (rust colored). I'm mainly concerned about the

possibility of absorbing a toxic amount of iron through my skin. I

would never drink it, but take showers in it and am worried about

even that. I can't seen to find any info at all about iron absorbtion

through the skin.

Best Wishes!
