NO!
First off anti-bacterial soap does not kill viruses. They cannot be killed, because they are not living. Most illnesses are a virus.
The over sanitization of materials is actually what creates more potent bacteria. It is the weaker strains that allow our immune systems to adjust and cope with illness. The situation occuring now is that the stronger bacteria survive and when they do hit hte immunue system it is more of a shock.
Washing your hands with regular non-antibacterial soap removes approximately 75-90% of the germs on it. Anti-bacterial soap also does not do anything to prevent the spread of disease, germs or bacteria |

Heh, that is totally what I have been saying for a while. I think it's similar to the whole problem with antibiotics. We eventually lose the immunity and are therefore less healthy. Maybe it is good right now, but over all, we are making ourselves weaker. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger, right? And maybe we are making it so individuals live longer, but that allows the weaker people to survive (as brutal as that sounds, I don't mean it in a bad way. but it is a fact). That makes humans as a race weaker. |

actually if you sanitize and disinfect everything you're more likely to get sick then to live in a normal environment. You're immune system won't be as develop. Plus with bacteria they will become stronger and stronger and more resistent towards all the things we use to kill them that we'll end up making a super bacteria. And one that we won't be able to cure. When that happens. We're all going to be in big trouble. So try and not use too much disinfectant. Using a little helps to make you healthy. Using a lot makes it bad. |

Having a clean surrounding helps especially if your immune systems are weak |

You're right... too much emphasis on cleaning is a combination of nuttiness, and the interest of the people who sell the cleaning products. And don't forget that better antibiotics select for stronger bacteria so "antibacterial" soaps may do more harm that good in the long run. Maybe "why can't we all just get along" should be extended to our everyday environment. |

NO! I believe that's why people get sick so much easier. If we don't expose ourselves to a certain amount of germs we will never build our immune system to fight them. I have an aunt that keeps her son in the house and away from others as much as possible. She is always wiping his hands or making him use that purell hand sanitizer. He is the sickest kid I know, honestly. The boy is always coming down with something.
I think we need to be reasonable about it. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom or changing a diaper, keep your fingers out of your mouth and eyes, and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. |

Using disinfectants excessively can cause more problems than good.
If you overly clean your skin with harsh chemicals it can start to react badly and cause zits, dry skin and so on.
If you use too much bleach, disinfectant, etc etc in your house then you run the risk of making yourself more susceptible to getting sick when you go outside into the "real" world. I think this particularly applies when there are babies in the house.
That said, you should always be careful to bathe and to keep things clean. Vinegar is a really good household cleaner. |

You're better off with a little crud in your life. That way your body isn't so succeptable to getting sick. It's about conditioning the immune system.You got the idea. |

absolutely not. Germs and Bacteria are necessary to fight off diseases and defend your body. If a person goes their entire adult life sanitizing, washing, etc. and one day they come in contact with somebody who has a cold, they're going to get sick and in a harsher way than a person who has regular contact with germs. |
