I don't worry about that stuff. I figure if you are so intent on keeping away germs, you are only hurting yourself because your body won't be able to fight off stuff when you do get sick.

Hi Bill,
There are so many antibacterial items on the shelves these days, I'm not sure what to choose. Should I even use antibacterial anything?

Dear Sarah,
No. Well, mostly no. Almost always no. Most of us should avoid antibacterial products. People in health care may be the only exception. For the rest of us, antibacterial soap started out as a pretty good idea, but it could be turning into a big mistake. Antibacterial soaps and ointments, for example, may be unintentionally creating germs that are resistant to antibiotics. Eventually, our antibiotics may not do much of anything to slow the spread of these types of germs and the diseases they cause.
