Is IAT sensor alcohol safe?

Is the GM IAT sensor able to be mounted in the airstream after the alcohol injector?

For exampe, alcohol nozzle near the downstream side of the MAF and the IAT sensor just upstream of the throttle body.

Yes, the sensor tip has a epoxy type coating on it. MAF sensors on the other hand will be destroyed in a very short period of time from the methanol.
