What is the kill time of alcohol antiseptics that kill microorganisms and how long should you wait before so that living bacteria are not carried into the body upon insertion of the needle?
The kill time of alcohol antiseptics can vary depending on the specific product and concentration. Generally, it takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute for alcohol antiseptics to effectively kill most microorganisms. It is important to allow sufficient drying time after applying the antiseptic before inserting a needle, typically around 30 seconds. This helps ensure that any living bacteria on the skin surface are eliminated, reducing the risk of introducing them into the body.

A lower pH can hurt someone's eyes. Ozone can also kill bacteria. Ozone in air will kill people long before it kills bacteria. In water, it will kill bacteria.
