Spraying alcohol or chlorine on our body is a good idea?
Alcohol based disinfectants are recommended for cleaning your hands and chlorine should be used to wipe the surfaces. But, they do not work if you are already infected or if you spray them all over your body. Moreover, these chemicals can be bad for your health and could cause skin irritation. So, do not use them all over your body. DO NOT use these substances on the face, mouth or eyes! Instead, you can clean your hands with alcohol based products if you do not have access to water and soap.
“No. Spraying alcohol or chlorine all over your body will not kill viruses that have already entered your body. Spraying such substances can be harmful to clothes or mucous membranes (i.e. eyes, mouth). Be aware that both alcohol and chlorine can be useful to disinfect surfaces, but they need to be used under appropriate recommendations,” explained WHO.
