What is making rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide such popular horder items?

Both items are not good to use on wounds and cuts and stuff, because it can kill the good bacteria that helps heal and prevent infections. A saline solution is the better choice.

I think many are buying as a disinfectant when they can’t find Clorox

@crystalkid I did my weekly shopping today and picked up some Clorox wipes for my sister because was out, but noticed they were out of those two items still had clorox though so I thought it was weird.

At my local store, the Clorox products were wiped out as fast the toilet paper(odd enough thing to hoard as is). Hand sanitizer went fast too. Then shoppers moved on to the alcohol and peroxide. @Arorin

@crystalkid my community has really stepped up and shamed a lot of horders in the area. One guy has an entire garage full of bottled water. I have well water so I have no reason to take the bottled stuff.
