There are many antibacterial soaps, hand lotions available. Could any problems arise from using them? -Biology?

yes, antibacterial soaps could cause lots of problems. bacteria could end up forming immunity to the antibacterial soaps, then that bacteria reproduces and we're left with bacteria that we can't kill! this happened with penecillin, which is why they try to avoid it nowadays when treating people. people took so much penecillin back in the day that bacteria ended up becoming immune to it and reproducing. There are many antibacterial soaps, hand lotions available. Could any problems arise from using them? -Biology?
yeah, basically our bodies are designed to destry bacteria by themselves and if we don't use that function, one day a really bad bacteria will come around and we won't be able to fight it off cause we are so afraid of all these harmless bacterias that we kill with soap instead of our immune system.





Probably could research on the internet for a more detailed answer.
