Layman's explanation: Hydronium is composed of protons of acids that are dissolved in water. It is one of two integral molecules used to measure basicity and acidity of a solution. Acidic solutions are capable of healing insect bites, athlete's foot, sun burn, cuts, and lice. Acidic solutions can also used be used in the prevention of oral problems such as halitosis, plaque, sore throats, and strep throat.
