As I was mixing my NPA and APC to make JB#1 today, a thought ran across me, bacteria breaks pheromones down right? So, what happens to the entire bottle of pheromones when you dab it on? Our skin, including our hands, always has bacteria on it, couldn\'t the bacteria traverse from our finger we use to dab and enter the rest of the pheros in the bottle and start breaking them down? What about your droppers, ever thought when you set them away, bacteria will populate in them? I gave my droppers a nice cleansing in hydrogen peroxide before I dipped them in any of my mones.

I just wanted to get everyone\'s thought on this and the best way to mitigate the situation.

Most of the phero products are in an ethanol carrier. Should kill off any bacteria getting in the bottle from your finger.

When you put the stuff on your skin the ethanol avaporates away, leaving the phero. Over time the bacteria go to work and after some hours you can notice conversions due to bacteria.
