Speaking a a workin chemical researcher, I must warn that 95% ethanol
(ethyl alcohol) does contain noticable amounts of benzene, therein. While
this should not affect chilli picklers, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRINK THE HOT
LIUQUID SO FORMED. Quite reasonably, it would get you ****ed as a newt,
extremely rapidly, but, this benzene could easily afflict you with
temporary or permanent blindness.
Use the 99% (spectroscopic grade) ethanol, to be safe. [More expensive by
far, but eyes are beyond price.
