Default Dunking and orchid in rubbing alcohol

I got very frutrated with an on going mealy bug explosion in my phals so i
figured i would just soak a plant in 99.9% rubbing alcohol for a few minutes
and see what happened. Not sure if that was a good idea but it been 24 hours
and it still looks sort of alright. Who thinks it will live and who thinks
it will die??? oh yea i also repotted it at the same time. Am i an orchid
killer extrodinare or what??
