Many years ago my father used to soak cotton wool in meths and place it between his toes at night due to athelets foot. It really worked and kept fungus at bay. He had a bad case of it but only meths would work. I have heard that applying meths with cotton wool to toe nail fungus daily helps to cure it as the meths gives a very cooling sensation which alters the ph balance of the nail and fungi find it hard to survie. Its strong alcohol so I would imagine that it would kill any germ....
