Why doesn't hydrogen peroxide feel warm when it is put on a cut?

Asked by shared3 (921points) March 24th, 2008

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is an exothermic reactionm so it should feel warm. I think this has something to do with something -lase and iron, two things that are produced in the human body?
