A member asked:
Can rubbing alcohol (ex. 70% or lysol wipes) denature the botulism toxin?

If you are talking about Botox that has been injected into your skin, no -- nothing applied to the surface of your skin will have any effect on Botox in the underlying layers.

Botox is injected and residual amounts are not left on the surface of the skin. Hard to imagine how rubbing alcohol or Lysol could interact in any fashion.
