Question from Katie
Hi Debra,
I came across a comment in a past blog about the health hazards of rubbing alcohol, because it is petrochemical based. Can you tell me more about these health hazards and why you do not recommend rubbing alochol? I’ve had a bad feeling about it for awhile, but would like to learn some solid facts on why. Thanks so much,
Katie
Debra’s Answer
Here is the MSDS for Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol).
It says, “MAY BE POISONOUS IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. VAPORS MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS OR SUFFOCATION. CONTACT MAY IRRITATE OR BURN SKIN AND EYES.”
