I actually just saw a vid mentioning the effect of rubbing alcohol like this.. Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) evaporates quickly (quicker than water). When a liquid turns into gas it needs heat to evaporate, and it takes the heat of the body on which it stays, essentially cooling it down. In this case, alcohol on skin will draw the heat from the skin would cause you to feel a cooling effect.
However, too much exposure to alcohol, & it’s fumes, can have bad consequences.
Well... Asian parents what do you expect? If we don't go to a doctor, we mostly work on what's logical. I was Always sick when I was a baby, vomiting, coughing, fevers, etc. So my mom's direct thoughts were to force the heat out of my body. Alcohol warms the body and coupled with the fever, it makes it very easy to perspire. On most days, it would be easier to just leave the house and try to work out some sweat under the sun, but it was late and I couldn't sleep while running such a high fever so. Brandy was mixed into my milk TwT
Wow. I also have Asian parents. But I was born with extremely weak immunity and got seriously sick very often . I used to be sick for more than half of the year till I was 7 or 8 years old. So my parents were always in touch with my pediatrician (my mom even had his wife's personal number) They were also extremely careful with the medica
Rub alcohol all over his body to treat a fever? Why not, this is a yaoi.
