...but animal studies suggest...
Once again, the limits of the allopathic model bite us in the butt. But hey, it’s patentable!
Mythbusters did a test where pretty much ANY soap wiped-out 99% of bacteria on your hands.
I seem to recall from biology class in school that it blows-up the membrane of the cell.
This isn’t completely cut & dried as another example of fed.overreach.gov... I’ve wondered if all the germophobia is just maximizing the evolution of tough germs.
I just use alcohol........nuff said.
So the government wants us to smell like Frenchmen. Probably will find a way for our woman to no longer be able to shave their legs and pits too. Could Buhrkinis be far behind?
All hail our Marxist _resident his minions and his implemented plan to turn us all into filthy Islamicists and communists
Dr. Bonners Tea Tree oil soap for the win.
I really looked into triclosan and anti-bacterial soaps about a decade ago and haven’t used them since. Needless to say, I did not get sick any more often by just using regular soap. If anything, I got sick less often. I now don’t see any reason to slather myself with chemicals every day like so many people do.
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.
