Would it be good for someone who just got but by brown recluse to rub hand sanitizer with 70% ethyl alcohol on bite? before they get to er?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It won't hurt.: It won't really help the bite area but it may decrease the skin bacteria that could get into the wound. Soap and water is best.
