Not a medical professional, but I don’t think you need to worry about following those instructions. The harm, apparently, is in regular use of antibacterial soaps, which, also kill off the good bacteria on your skin.

Yes. Before every surgery I’ve had, scrubbing with antibacterial soap was required. So Uncle Sugar is going to take that away from us? Probably US will let us get it, but only via prescription. Prescription Dial. Gimme a break!

After every church service, even after slathering on hand sanitizer, I run to the sink and scrub with antibacterial soap. Those “hellos and handshakes” times can kill you, as DH and I discovered after being down with pneumonia picked up at church.
