Staph Infections Reported at Schools Across the Country
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/17/us/17school-cnd.html
Everyone should read this, especially if you have kids in school. This stuff scares me.   I hate touching shopping carts at grocery stores, don't you?

Re: Staph Infections Reported at Schools Across the Country
I've heard that it's even in the local high school where I live, they had over a hundred kids that got "really bad spider bites" in under a week. It's some bad stuff, kinda looks like a brown recluse bite. Everybody's carrying hand sanitizer now.

Re: Staph Infections Reported at Schools Across the Country
My daughter has a genetic disorder. Her body can't store fats so she's got to eat every 3 hours.If she gets sick its a trip to the hospital to put her on and IV. We don't go any where with out anti bacterial soap, wipes etc. and after seeing that I'm glad me and my wife are so picky about it.

Re: Staph Infections Reported at Schools Across the Country
It scares me, but not for the same reason as it scares most people. I'm not germ phobic by any strech, but every time I see comercials for antibacterials it makes me shutter.
Think about it. The comercials advertise killing 99.9% of bacteria. This is NOT a good thing. That still leaves 0.1%. It may not seem like much, but come on. Why was the 0.1% left? It's imune.
Bacteria reproduce exponentially. It's only natural for the imune minority to become the majority after what seems a very short time.
The result? A new strain of bacteria that's imune to conventional antibiotics. Now what?
Honestly, we'd be better off using bleach or rubbing alcohal than theses disinfectant soaps. |

The main ingrediant in most hand sanitizers is rubbing alchohol.
