According to the EPA, rubbing alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol, has a couple safety concerns. 1) It is highly flammable, and 2) poisoning can occur through skin absorption, oral ingestion, or inhalation. It should be stored properly, away from heat sources, only used in well ventilated areas, and kept out of the reach of children and pets.
