I'm a machine operator, and I have to use this ethyl alcohol to clean the machines on a daily basis. I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to detect which specific alcohol is in my UA if I get an EtG sprung up on me? Does there have to be a moderate amount of contact to even get into my system? I use a cloth with this alcohol spray to clean the machines.

Better wear gloves when using this if you don't want to test positive.

I will! The work gives us work gloves but there are a cheap fabric glove. I think it may be best if I buy some latex gloves and just take them to work

Latex/non-latex either or. Non-latex is less expensive. As long as it's not fabric and can't soak through.
