It's a long time since I worked in a lab, but as I recall much of what is called ethanol is actually IMS (Industrial Methylated Spirit) which has sufficient methanol added to make it toxic. Pure ethanol is under Customs and Excise control, so it has to be accounted for. You can't just get a win bottle from the stores and take it to a party ! The methylated spirit you buy from a hardware shop also has a dye and nasty taste (aniline ?) added.
I thought it tasted funny

I’ve never, touch wood got green anywhere near meat areas of carcass.
I will brush it off with a handful of moss, which has anti microbial properties (and was used for millennia on wounds as a dressing to staunch blood and promote healing).
If any still evident back at larder I cut out, and clean that area with antibac wipe.

Most alcohol wipes are isopropyl alcohol (or propan-1-ol if I recall rightly)
Methanol is one carbon, ethanol a 2 carbon and surgical spirit is the three carbon as above.
Do you not have to be careful with which moss you use for things as aren't some harmful or contain harmful bacteria? I'm not sure but saw it mentioned on a bushcraft page on instagram
