Anti-bacterial ingredient can become toxic: study

[Guest guest]

This doesn't seem to be as conterversial as the SARS web link from the other day... but who knows. I figure that at least some of us here use anti-bacterial soaps.. if only for the patients to see.

antibacterial soaps serve no purpose in the home. they just creat resistant

strains that threaten us all. soap and water are more than adequate for

maintaining a clean home with low risk of illness transmission. perhaps now

that they are also toxic, people will just stop using them.
