Week of December 15th- 19th Discussion: AntiBacterial Soap Effective or Not?

Hey Scholars!!!



Yay for the last week before Winter Break!!! I was doing some research this past weekend and found out alot about the effectiveness of different brands of AntiBacterial Soap (purell, etc). I challege you to do the same. We wash our hands (or are suppose to) constantly but does it really matter what type of soap we use? This week find me some information on if Antibacterial soap works better than regular. (site the article or website you found the info from)\

Antibacterial soaps and alcohol-based hand gels are widely used by hospitals and clinics where they have shown some benefit in cutting the risk of patient-to-patient infections. But the products are also widely sold to the general public despite evidence that hand washing with regular soap and water is just as effective

Well mr. Dillman soap, is soap. There are many types of scented soaps and other hand washers that all do the same thing really. Depending on what you want your hands to smell like is really what your choice for brand in soap is considring they all do the same thing.
