Alcohol Poisoning : Although alcohol "poisoning" is unlikely, the use of high concentration alcohols in wounds is usually contraindicated as alcohols are cytotoxic. (harmful to tissues) with scalp wounds of this description, the application of direct pressure to control hemorrhaging and transfer to a medical facility would be recommended.
