I just inject the bleach to really shock my system. Usually once every couple months.

Nvr heard of this. Interesting. I like these random old school medical solutions that get forgotten. My parents had a bunch growing up, so always interests me hearing new ones.

So do you dunk your head if it's in your nose? Does it do anything to your hair? Head and or body.

Wondering what else this can help with, and if HydroPeroxide would do a similar thing.

No. But I have heard it works for eczema.

I only do it to kill redbugs if I spend time in the woods during summer

Does anyone else do this sometimes?


One of my kids got a skin infection and after two short courses of antibiotics didn't entirely knock it out, his doc prescribed bleach baths twice a week and the infection was gone after about three weeks. It's old school but it works regardless of antibiotic resistance.

10 years ago I had issues with recurring staph infections. One of the things the doctors recommended was laying in a bathtub of hot water with about 1/4 cup of bleach mixed in. For good measure I usually add a little more than 1/4.



Thanks for the idea. I might start taking them. That's about the same concentration I use to sanitize my homebrew buckets. Like a swimming pool. It's not like being shot in the eyes by a jihadist with 15% hypochlorite in a Super Soaker.

As a kid I use to occasionally come down with athlete's foot fungus and my grandma would make me soak my feet in hot water with bleach in it to help kill the bacteria. It did work from what I remember.

Used to do them a good bit when I was younger...seemed to help out with both poison ivy and also with redbugs.
