Do you think it is true that too much hand washing with anti-bacterial soap can make resistant bacteria?

plain soap and water works best, and vinegar solution works as well as bleach also!Do you think it is true that too much hand washing with anti-bacterial soap can make resistant bacteria?
Absolutely. Bacteria are becoming more difficult to kill. That's why hospitals are starting to have serious problems with staph infections in patients. Simple soap and water is best. Bleach, vinegar, and ammonia are good additives for water to use for cleaning.Do you think it is true that too much hand washing with anti-bacterial soap can make resistant bacteria?
i don't think so.
Yes, I do. It's happened to people with antibiotics, which fight bacterial infections.
yes. There are many articles on this. Anti-bacterial soap does not clean your hands any better than regular soap, yet has many side effects.





The goal for selling anti-bacterial soaps is to sell more soap, not sell a better soap.





Ingredients in soaps and cleansers intended to fight bacteria could promote the growth of drug-resistant ';superbugs'; that might otherwise be kept in check with little more than a vigorous scrub, warns microbiologist Dr. Stuart Levy of Tufts University.





Dr. Levy had some interesting comments that he presented at a recent conference. He states:





';Dousing everything we touch with antibacterial soaps and taking antibiotic medications at the first sign of a cold can upset the natural balance of microorganisms in and around us, leaving behind only the 'superbugs.';





Older cleansers such as soap and hot water, alcohol, chlorine bleach and hydrogen peroxide are sufficient for most purposes.





Strong antibacterial cleaners are needed only when someone in a household is seriously ill or has low immunity.





A recent Italian study found that exposure to bacteria is essential for development of an infant's immune system.





Dr. Levy said a baby must be exposed to germs during its first year in order to develop antibodies needed to fight infection later in life.
The resistant bacteria a.k.a. 'superbugs' have always existed. We are just creating conditions that allow them to thrive. None of those things kills 100% of bacteria. The small percentage that survive are resistant to the antibacterial ingredients. They also have no competition for resources no, because we have killed off all the non-resistant strains. They reproduce and multiply, and we have even more of the resistant bacteria.





There is a proper handwashing technique, btw.





1. Wet hands with hot water and soap up.





2. With hands angled down into the sink to keep slop from running up your arms lather for 30 seconds. (Sing the alphabet song all the way to the end--next time won't you sing with me, slowly. That's about 30 seconds.)





3. If nails are dirty, use a nail brush and maybe clean under them gently with a file.





4. Rinse.
certainly no.
dont think so!!!
Absolutely. Anti-bacterial soap cannot tell the difference between good and bad bacteria. Thus, all bacteria is eliminated.
If you wash your hands too much your body will get sick easier because it wasn't around germs from everyday activities.
yes,ur right
