AnswerAlcohol (of at least a 60% solution) will kill all fungi, 99.9% of
bacteria and many viruses, but does not kill spores.
ANSWER:It doesn't kill as well as you would think it should on skin. It
will however sweep it from one place on the skin to another. When you
go to give blood, the nurse starts with an alcohol prep pad and makes a
circle with it going outwards. This is because alcohol is not a
sterilizer. Use Betadine on the skin or bleach on other surfaces to kill
bacteria most effectively. If an item is immersed in alcohol, then it
will kill most bacteria.
