Question 1

is ok for pregnant women using isopropyl alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Work exposures: As long as you're not drinking the alcohol, working around alcohol should be fine as long as the fumes are not significant. Consider wearing a mask to avoid inhaling too much alcohol. It would also be reasonable to ask your doctor to write a note that excuses you from doing that particular job that exposes you to alcohol.

Question 2

:  Isopropyl alcohol would render the sperm non-viable.

Question 4

is (70%) isopropyl alcohol based hand sanitizer on the skin harmful during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: No it is not. You’re fine to use it.

Question 5

is isopropyl alcohol safe to smell during pregnancy? i'm currently 10 weeks pregnant and smelling alcohol helps me not vomit.

Accepted Answer

Isopropyl alcohol: No it is not safe to inhale very much vapor from isopropyl alcohol as it is toxic to the system and could harm your pregnancy.  Try small amounts of aromatic oils e.g. Aromatherapy or some herbs to get good effects.  Try things like peppermint or lavender for relief as they are safe.

Question 6

is there a chance to get my girlfriend pregnant after i ejaculate (there are some semen in my finger) but i wipe it with tissue and put isopropyl alcohol (70%) in my hand and dry it after 2 mins and finger her inside.?

Accepted Answer

: Sperm are fragile and would be dead after exposure to the agents listed. Pregnancy chances as listed approach zero.

Question 7

will you die if you inject isopropyl alcohol into your vein.?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Unlikely, but not the best idea. Injection could cause local problem. The amount would be important. Isopropyl alcohol causes metabolic acidosis in large amount.

Question 8

is it safe to use 3% hydrogen peroxide and 99% isopropyl alcohol on a wound?

Accepted Answer

Wound: you can use hydrogen peroxide to cleanse your wound or you can use rubbing alcohol but you may want to use one or the other, not both together

Question 9

could prolonged/frequent exposure to isopropyl alcohol on your skin be absorbed and affect your liver?

Accepted Answer

Isopropyl alcohol: Definitely some isopropyl alcohol absorbs through the skin when applied- usually for medical uses. Fortunately, however, you need very large doses for toxicity to develop.  Your liver can certainly handle the trace amounts that may come through the skin from hand sanitizers and the like. Even over the long term, I wouldn't worry too much. Drinking alcohol (any) would have far more of an affect.

Question 10

i had strep so can i disinfect my lipsticks with 91% isopropyl alcohol to keep from throwing away my lipsticks?

Accepted Answer

No: sorry that won't work. Recommend throwing them away. Dr. R
