I wonder if inhaled alcohol aerosols could be useful for fungal lung infections.

I doubt you'd have a strong enough alchohol aerosol to kill the fungi without damaging your lungs. Anti-fungal is so hard to do because our flesh and fungi are pretty similar. Anything that damages fungi damages us.

Topicals:

Ketoconazole is our savior against fungi. I hear it can be given internally, but it's last ditch when everything else fails.

Chlorahexidine has become a hot commodity on the bacterial side. Iodine is on the way out, CHX is dope.
