The antibacterial soaps also help create supergerms that can survive the antibiotic used. They should only be used in medical settings when necessary. The overuse of antibacterial soaps and antibiotics are going to help create more pandemics should enough bacteria become antibiotic-resistant.
That’s very true, but also, the overuse of antibiotics on livestock dwarfs any overuse normal people are doing. We need to make the farmers stop, too.
Is antibacterial soap using antibiotics though? I thought it was just using something like alcohol to kill off bacteria and not an actual antibiotic.
Friendly reminder people can stop eating meat at any point if they don’t want to contribute to problems like this.
Your getting downvoted because bacteria exists regardless of farm/ag.
Anyone know if scrubbing with water alone is better or worse than not doing anything? I’ve occasionally ended up in public bathrooms with no soap and I wonder if I should use water or not.
