Would Rubbing Alcohol Be An Effective Way To Get Pinworm Eggs Off Electronics??

1. would rubbing alcohol be an effective way to get pinworm eggs off phones, keyboards etc? (all household members took albenza & have laundered & vacuumed, now just wondering if we need to sterilize our electronics) 2. could pinworm eggs survive for over 2 months in home-made raspberry jam, which was not cooked very long

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that vaccum will evacuate all the eggs out from electronics, there is no need to take alcohol action. It will survive in the jam and should not be used.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
