13. While 12% H2O2 Is Nothing To Take Lightly...

...those commenting obviously don't understand what dilution is.
The miniscule amount of Albone 12 they are putting in that huge volume of water doesn't put the ducks at any risk, especially given the water temperature and the exposure to the uV in sunlight.
I've worked extensively with 50 & 70% peroxide & that stuff breaks down at room temperature so we had to keep it refrigerated. While starting at 12% slows the rate of decay, it's still warm and exposed to sunlight. The waterfowl will be just fine.
I'm all for making fun of this idiot-fest called the administration, but peroxide in water isn't an issue.
The fact that it's needed at all is the part we should be ridiculing.
