Chocolate is deadly toxic to dogs.
So is Xylitol, the sweetener in most sugar-free gum.
My brother has a $4000 vet bill to prove it.
Some of us are old enough to remember PhisoHex. Soap in the little green bottle containing hexachlorophine. Now
THAT was some nasty, hazardous stuff!
My Dad would wash my hair with PhisoHex when I was a young child. I can still remember what it tastes like. I don’t think I suffered too much drain bammage.
Killjoy!
They’re banning it because testing has shown that bacteria can mutate to become resistant, and there are antibiotics that work via the same pathway. We’re running out of effective antibiotics, need to protect the efficacy of those remaining.
People have good reason to be concerned, what with MRSA and others, but I don’t think most understand that simple, regular soap worked to a lather and warm water is highly effective under most circumstances. If I were in a hospital or even doctor’s office, I’d want an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, not antibacterial soap. Alcohol kills bacteria.
I don’t do the germophobia thing. Never have. I’m with you. I think it’s bad for you. Our body has to learn to fight them.
Bacteria are also mutating to handle refrigeration. Fedzilla will next ban refrigerator ownership among the hoi polloi, except for themselves.
If refrigeration becomes ineffective due to bacteria, they’re going to have to irradiate it or a whole lot of people are going to starve.
I keep several vials of pure Tea Tree oil in our SHTF medical supplies.
