Steven Wasmer asked the Naked Scientists:
Chris,
Good morning and great show! I was just using some disinfectant gel on my hands and discovered I had a small cut on my hand. Obviously the alcohol immediately burned in the wound. I was wondering what is it about alcohol which causes this burning sensation?
Thanks for a great show.
