The most obvious survival use for rubbing alcohol is as a fire starter. However, this strong-smelling substance can come in handy for everything from medical attention to cooking.
1. Fire Starter
Just simply squirt very small amounts onto the wood and you will have no trouble getting a fire started in dry weather conditions.

Mix together 3 parts water and 1 part rubbing alcohol in a large Ziploc bag and freeze.

Place a cotton ball with a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto the cold sore for a few seconds.

You can kill insects with rubbing alcohol by simply spraying them using a spray bottle. I do not recommend spraying rubbing alcohol on wood furniture, any type of flooring, or yourself (including your clothing).

Colloidal silver is better to have. A bottle of 500 ppm. I have used it for years. We keep several bottles stashed.
David Brewer There is a huge difference between colloidal silver made from tap water and that of triple distilled water. The idiot made his own from regular tap water and drank quarts a day for months before he turned color. Nobody is saying to drink quarts a day. It doesn’t take much to be effective and it does absolutely no harm to the body internally and it is excellent to stop an infection on external wounds. That is fact and not opinion. Do some research and educate yourself before you not only show yourself to be an$#%&!@* but also ignorant.
