[2manyfibers]

I've been using the peroxides for close to 3 years - probably about 250 to 300 gallons of hydrogen peroxide (good thing it's cheap). I had a dense, sticky coating on my skin and knew it was causing part of the problems. I tried everything I could think of to dissolve it (at least what I thought I could survive) - nothing would "cut" it including mineral spirits. After figuring out it might be keratin, I researched on the web and found that alcohol and peroxide were known solvents. Out of desperatation I tried burning some of the fibers around my eyes with a cigarette lighter initially - I could only get part of them out of the skin and they would burn very quickly, but I read that eyelashes don't grow back so I stopped even attempting burning the fibers (and it hurt when the fire hit the skin).
