Alcohol and the syringe....

I just inoculated my first batch today (B+). Instead of flaming the needle in between injections I just wiped it clean with alcohol on toilet paper. Just wondering if the alcohol is going to give the mycelium any guff?? aside from the list of other worries I have about how well I did in terms of cleanliness and such this one is nagging me the most.

Used my alcohol burner once or twice and put it away after that, alcohol swab w/ 71% is all you need for this hobby. Even scraping spores off spore prints w/ syringe needle, I only use alcohol.
I think the burner kills more spores than it's worth, I certainly don't want my spore solution passing through a red hot needle!
