BME Hydrogen peroxide
Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 6:33 pm
After reading the entirety of the Calcium Chloride thread. I went out and got all the supplies but had to postpone the deed because of an event. So was looking around and saw this BME wiki article about castration with a spot where they mention injections.
https://wiki.bme.com/index.php?title=Castration
Injection of Caustic Substances
A few reports of alcohol injection (alcohol denatures proteins) supposedly do exist.
Lactic acid has been used in animal castration. A few humans have used lactic acid injections. Aside from having to attempt this multiple times, there is a risk of injecting too much acid (which could eat away too much material).
In theory, hydrogen peroxide (a strong oxidizer) could similarly be injected, but no reports have been located of any successful attempts nor should any attempts be made. A small volume (1 cc) of 40 vol could generate 40 cc of oxygen in a 20 cc space and plenty of heat. Of course, attempting this would probably be bloody painful as the testis essentially cauterizes itself from the inside and swells up like a balloon.
In short, it's probably best NOT to inject anything into the testes but anesthesia.
Note that it doesn't mention Calcium Chloride. But the bit on Hydrogen peroxide is oddly pacific and after a few Google searches couldn't find anything on this. So my question is has anyone tried it and did it work.
