I Am Having Thoughts Of Distilling My Own Rubbing Alcohol 🍶🧼🧽

Like The Flowers Needs The Rain I Need You

There is no sign of rubbing alcohol ever being available in the supermarkets, groceries, or drugstores. I maybe can live without a rubbing alcohol on my side even though I really needed it even before the Pandemic issues wrecking havoc around the world today.

I have an oily skin and I do sweat a lot here in my room as the hottest part of the house. Now that it is just awfully hot during the daytime past 9:00 AM onwards until about midnight and all the while I just needed cleaning myself with tissue and Ethyl alcohol as my thrifty wet wipes.

I might use wet wipes but I really do not like the type of chemical in it. I just needed a mildly scented Rubbing Ethyl alcohol because it came from sugarcane unlike isopropyl alcohol which comes from crude oil which some says are carcinogenic or harms the body which is why I prefer an Ethyl alcohol.

Now the thing is nowhere to be found like people are just drinking the stuff. That is why if only I can get up with my feet I will buy potatoes or some starchy substance, ferment it and then extract the alcohol content via distillation process. I could not just tell it to my father and let him do it lest he will do a botched job.

So I guess that I might use a wet wipes anyway for babies or ask my mother to give me something that I can clean myself with or probably just take a bath often even though it is like climbing the mount Everest for me. But buying those wet wipes is just another needless expense for me, so I am in a hard situation right now.

I Only Have A Few Of These Left Now

But what I really needed and so important not only for me but also for my parents is our vitamin C supply. Today we didn't attempt to go to the drugstore because they maybe closed right now, it is the holy week of the Catholics. But maybe on my next dialysis I will try to buy those previous ones that my mother was able to buy, the Sodium Ascorbate vitamin C.

I am afraid that we would crash our resistance considerably if we weren't able to take vitamin C anymore. Like the rubbing alcohol the supply are scant already. The last two packs were the last batch when we are trying to buy one and I am glad that my mother bought it otherwise I will not be able to take my regular dose at this point in time.

I really do not want to get colds but if I will not be able to get my supply soon I will just have to resort in drinking lemon juice even though its potassium content could make my heart to stop. I just pray that the courier of my online store would be able to deliver my order because it is in their warehouse already and because there was an extended days of lockdown it got stuck in there for the time being. May God help me.
