birch Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Could someone please tell me how alcoholic hand gel works? I know it's something to do with alcohol dehydrating the bacteria but could you explain it in more scientific detail? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genecks Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Alcohol denatures proteins. It also screws with the cellular structure of bacteria. I believe that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
