Re: Bleach dilution rate
Ray:
Great suggestion using H2O2.
Bleach is a good solution for washing the skin of pumpkins and squash that
you want to store for long periods of time.
Just a note: when I was in Girl Scout camp for two weeks each summer, the
rule of thumb was to draw water from the clear streams or lakes while hiking
and add bleach to the canteens so that we could use this water for drinking
without fear that bacteria, algae and other pathogens might make us sick.
Would I do that now? Nope!
I can't tell you how many glasses of kool-aid we drank made from clorox
treated water.........
