Best Answer

Benzalkonium Chloride is listed in a product named Mycocide NS. it is a treatment for fungal infections of the nails. They advertise that it will return appearance of the nail to almost normal in a week. Guanteed! I bought some and it seemed ok but now when I bought it again the active ingredient has changed to tolnaftate 1% which I know to be an ineffective ingredient for this type of fungus.

ANS2:

Benzalkonium Chloride may be an effective fungicide for agricultural use but, the price may make it unattractive. Sigma Aldrich sells 500 grams for $232.50.
