Follow-up: 50/50 hydrogen peroxide & water on hair transplant recipient area. Toxic?

Question

I am resubmitting a former question to reclarify things. I misted a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide & water to recipient area on day 5 after hair transplant (I did this to soften crusts). Rinsed and shampooed afterward. Then I read somewhere that this could be toxic. I am NOT worried about crusts anymore (they will go away eventually anyway), I AM Worried.... Did this poison and destroy the Grafts? I appreciate the response on Best way to get rid of crusting; but "Did I do damage from mist?"

There is always a risk but after five days it probably would not be too significant.  There is no point to agonize over it since it has been done.  Follow up with your doctor and wait for the results.

I wrote to you yesterday privately about this. If you used it after 5 days when the wounds were sealed, the peroxide should have no impact on the hairs in the graft.
