Publisher's Summary
It's common knowledge that rubbing alcohol makes cuts burn. But, why? Find out the answer to this burning question on this episode of Now I Know. Get a scrape or a cut and your first step – after the subtle facial expression you make from the pain – may be to grab some rubbing alcohol. Your goal is to clean off the wound before applying a bandage, as you want to shield the scrape from the elements, and prevent trapping bacteria or other stuff within the injured area. Rubbing alcohol should do that, but as almost everyone learns at a young age, it comes at a price: once applied, the alcohol makes the cut feel like it’s burning.
