In theory a high enough alcohol concentration with sufficient exposure to gut or oral tissue could kill bacteria but will in all likelihood also damage the gut lining. It’s not advised alcohol be used as a regular disinfectant to treat tummy bugs or throat infections.

Rubbing alcohol can be effective in killing the fungus that causes toenail infections and athlete’s foot. However, it will usually only eliminate surface-level bacteria in the earliest stages of an infection. If some fungus remains in and around the toenail, an infection can recur.

Mixtures that contain at least 70% alcohol are best if they can be sourced, and these mixtures can neutralize viruses and other bacteria on a surface if left wet for at least 30 seconds.

Ethanol is widely used for general surface disinfecting and has reported biocidal efficacy against bacteria, fungi and viruses in the concentration range of 50%–90% [34]. Higher concentrations of ethanol are required to kill fungal spores than bacteria, which show a maximum kill efficacy of 70% ethanol [34].

Research has found hydrogen peroxide has the potential to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold spores. When applied to these microorganisms, hydrogen peroxide kills them by breaking down their essential components like their proteins and DNA .

Do use an antibacterial soap that will disinfect your body and kill the fungal infection in its early stages. The drying effect of the soap will also help your condition.

Hydrogen peroxide can effectively kill the fungus on the surface level of the foot, as well as any surface bacteria that could cause an infection. Pour hydrogen peroxide directly onto the affected area. Note that it may sting, and it should bubble, especially if you have open wounds.

No. Bar soap does not appear to transmit disease. The most rigorous study of this question was published in 1965. Scientists conducted a series of experiments in which they intentionally contaminated their hands with about five billion bacteria.

Some people carry bacteria or other germs on their skin that aren’t disease-causing for them but could be for someone else, like Staphylococcus. It’s also possible that the person you share soap with could transmit a virus like the common cold or flu via the bar.

Soap does expire, but if it still lathers when you wash your hands, it should be effective. Most commercial store-bought soaps expire after two to three years. Natural or handmade soaps may expire sooner, within one year, as the essential oils and fragrances can get rancid or moldy.

With all Squatch soap, I use fishing line to cut each bar into 4 pieces before I use it. I find that the scent fades after about a week of use.
