I'm using 91 per cent alcohol
Just an FYI. The oils to which you are allergic are soluble in 91% isopropanol, but the alcohol also carries the oils INTO your skin where it enhances your reaction. Never use alcohol. Always use soap and water to solubilize the oils and wash them away. Once the oils are in your skin, no amount of washing will remove them.
