A member asked:
Will often smelling rubbing alcohol harm my unborn baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Sniff" test: If you are smelling rubbing alcohol when it is applied to an area on the body therapeutically in a well ventilated area, no. If you are "sniffing" alcohol as a practice then the answer is yes, that could be harmful.
