"Solumium is not irritating, it will not sting even in wounds. It has no taste, it's ordor disappears quickly. It does not cause allergic reactions - in fact it can palliate certain allergic symptoms - because it's a antihistamine." from the Solumium site.
And when you go to the site where they sell it, here is the literature on it:.
SOLUMIUM® ORAL - BASIC FACTS:
SOLUMIUM® ORAL is the ideal biocide, killing all pathogenes including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and
viruses. It can also penetrate into the skin, the mucous membrane, or other human tissues, providing
an in-depth disinfection of the treated region. Most importantly, if used in the small quantities needed
for disinfection, it is not harmful for humans.
Chemically, SOLUMIUM® ORAL is an aqueous solution of hyperpure chlorine-dioxide (ClO ), the 2
substance responsible for the liquid's yellow color, characteristic smell, and exceptional disinfecting
qualities. There are no other ingredients in it. The solution does not sting, and may freely come into
contact with the teeth, the skin, and the mucous membrane.
The use of chlorine-dioxide as a skin- and mucous membrane disinfectant has previously been stalled
by the fact that it was not available in a clean and stable enough solution. The high purity of
SOLUMIUM® ORAL guarantees its success in human disinfection, and greatly extends possible storage
time of the liquid.
Chlorine-dioxide is highly volatile, so please close bottle cap tightly after use. Depletion of the solution
is indicated by a fading of its yellow color. If the liquid becomes colorless, it is ineffective. Its volatility,
on the other hand, means that, after treatment, SOLUMIUM® ORAL evaporates without any residues.
Please note that it may decolorize clothes if it gets accidentally spilled onto them.
SOLUMIUM® ORAL consists of chlorine-dioxide (0.025%), and water.
A 30 ml scaled plastic cup is enclosed in the package, to facilitate dilution.
SOLUMIUM® ORAL - AREAS OF USE:
BAD BREATH:
Bad breath is an effect of sulphurous compounds produced by bacteria in the mouth. SOLUMIUM®
ORAL kills those bacteria, and neutralizes the compounds. Rinse with SOLUMIUM® ORAL diluted 6-10-
fold by water, every day, in the morning and in the evening. Use warm water for diluting.
Example: Pour 3-5 ml of SOLUMIUM® ORAL into the attached scaled plastic cup and fill up to the 30 ml
mark with warm water, for 2-3 thorough rinsings. Keep the diluted liquid in the mouth for 10-15
seconds each time, swirling and gargling, then spit it out.
SORE THROAT:
To treat an acute pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat or pharynx) dilute 1 part SOLUMIUM® ORAL
with 3-4 parts warm water.
Example: Pour 7-10 ml of SOLUMIUM® ORAL into the scaled plastic cup and fill up to the 30 ml mark
with warm water, and use it for an intense gargling 3 times in a series. One gargling should be at least
10 seconds long. Pain caused by the illness will decrease substantially in the first 5-15 minutes after
treatment, with all symptoms normally disappearing in a few hours. To avoid recrudescence, repeat the
rinsing procedure two times, with a 6 to 10 hour pause between treatments.
BLOCKED NOSE:
A blocked nose is a symptom of the common cold, the world's most widespread illness.
For treatment, pour 5 ml of SOLUMIUM® ORAL into the scaled plastic cup and fill up to the 30 ml mark
with warm water, and suck the liquid through one nose canal, then the other. Treat each canal twice, if
necessary. The treatment may induce a mild irritation in the nose, similar to that caused by plain water
getting into the nostrils. The nose canal will clear up in about 5 minutes after treatment, and
respiration through the nose will usually become easy in about 30 minutes. To avoid recrudescence,
repeat the procedure within 12 hours. In the case of a stronger infection, the procedure can be
repeated several times, with 6-12 hour pauses between treatments.
Those who prefer not to suck water in the nose may use any dropper (e.g an eye-drop applicator) for
dripping 5-10 drops of the above 6-fold diluted SOLUMIUM® ORAL solution into each nostril.
GINGIVITIS (INFLAMMATION OF THE TOOTH GUM)
To treat gingivitis, use a toothbrush dipped into SOLUMIUM® ORAL, for gently brushing the affected area, for
1-2 minutes a day, for 3-4 days. Any further toothbrushes should also be disinfected using SOLUMIUM®
ORAL.
FURTHER AREAS OF USE:
FUNGAL INFECTIONS:
To treat various fungal infections of the skin (like athlete's foot, yeast infection in skin folds, Jock Itch, etc. ),
use undiluted SOLUMIUM® ORAL, for a 2-minute brushing. After treatment, the use of a soothing cream is
recommended. To avoid recrudescence, repeat the procedure the next day.
To avoid reinfection from clothing, it is recommended to treat underwear, socks and other clothing touching
the infected area, with SOLUMIUM® ORAL diluted 6-fold with water.
Please remember, however, that the liquid may slightly decolorize clothes.
DISINFECTION OF SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS OF THE SKIN:
Clean the area to be treated, let it dry, and wait until bleeding lessens or stops. Then pour a few drops of
undiluted SOLUMIUM® ORAL onto the padding of a bandaid, and apply the bandaid to the wound. A wound
already covered with a gauze pad can also be disinfected by pouring SOLUMIUM® ORAL onto the gauze, until
the liquid reaches the surface of the wound. (Note: The liquid will evaporate from the gauze with no residue.)
STORAGE:
Close the bottle firmly after each use.
Keep the bottle in a dark, cool place, like a refrigerator. If not placed in a refrigerator, the bottle should be put
back into its box, to protect it from light. Do not expose the bottle to strong sunlight for a longer time.
BEST BEFORE: 12 months from date of manufacture.
See manufacturing date on the top of the external packaging.
Please check packaging for any damages before first use.
NOTE: SOLUMIUM® ORAL may be effective even after several years of storage, as long as it is yellow.
WARNING:
Should not be mixed with other disinfectants.
