"..the antimicrobial pesticide (triclosan) has been proven to be no more effective at killing germs than regular soap and water..." What is your view?
Sure, but it takes the good bacteria with the "bad." More effective is not necessarily a good thing. I prefer to let my immune system have its natural exposures and stick to regular soap and water. Antibacterial hand washes smell gross and create superbacteria out of the .1% that the antibacterial/antimicrobial soap does not kill.
Yeah, these days I do avoid using anti-bacterial soap at home. However, When I'm out, it's very hard to avoid it especially when using restrooms else where such as Starbucks, Costco, and other places. Perhaps, some day places will stop using anti-bacteria soaps as things changes.
ReplyDeleteSoap is a good thing, it should cleanse and be nutritive. Where's the balance gone.
ReplyDeletePesticides in soap next cereal boxes. It is time for a biologically engineered liver that can process toxic waste. Then no need for strong soap, oh I forgot bacteria mutate faster than we do. Consciousness and cultural education can go a long way, much further than pesticides will take us.
