Are Antibacterial Soaps Safe?
The real world can be so confusing and difficult to sort out. There are so many interactions and variables that it is nearly impossible to determine how things are really working. In our age of science and technology we have become a little too proud of our abilities to determine how our world works. After all we (the “BIG” we) sequenced the human genome in less time than estimated and robots are on Mars right now taking pictures of the planet’s surface and sending those images millions of miles to us here on planet earth. Studies in research labs on various antibacterial compounds are rapidly being evaluated to see if this new drug or that new drug will be the next generation of medications to help in the fight against microbial diseases. With this knowledge we have decided that eliminating microbes in our homes is a good thing. Many companies have developed soaps and cleansers that not only remove the dirt but kill the microbes on the surfaces in our home. The biocides (life killers)
