Antibacterial Soap

Is you regularly buy SafeGuard in order to protect yourself from all the spreading bacteria, and eventually disease, you should stop and throw it away. Here’s why.

Antibacterial soap doesn’t work. Yes, studies conducted in a lab setting have shown result in decreased amount of bacteria on the subject’s hands. That is, if they wash their hands for at least 30 seconds. And guess what – when you test their actual ability to prevent communicable disease, antibacterial soaps fail miserably. There is absolutely no difference between them and regular soap – they just don’t work as they claim they do.

However, that is not all that antibacterial soaps do. Due to their chemicals, they lead to an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria. And not just on your hands, either. When you are finished washing your hands (or some people even shower with them), all that water and excess soap goes into the water supply and contaminates it and marine life with such antibiotic resistant bacteria, eventually leading to its overall increase in the environment.  Furthermore, antibacterial soap has been linked to several allergies and asthma. So people, just stop using it. Its not doing you any good, and it is potentially causing a great deal of harm.
