Do you buy antibacterial soap?

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 29, 2007

Personally, it bothers me when I see people using the stuff.  It makes no sense and is only creating superbugs that will be harder to kill years from now.

This is a nice little nugget about the soaps.

Antibacterial soaps that contain triclosan as the main active ingredient are no better at preventing infections than plain soaps, say University of Michigan researchers who reviewed 27 studies conducted between 1980 and 2006 to reach their conclusion.The team also concluded that these antibacterial soaps could actually pose a health risk, because they may reduce the effectiveness of some common antibiotics, such as amoxicillin.

so stop wasting your money, and do the environment a favor please.
