Yes.: But it will likely hurt. Soap and water works well too.

There are : Better things to use. Alcohol can possibly sting pretty badly unless of course you were drinking it first. I think your better off with hydrogen peroxide if the cut is small or even soap and water.

I found a tick between my toes. I dripped some Vodka on the area and removed the tick. Should I take any medication OR see a doctor to prevent me from falling ill? I am selfemployed.
