Did you know that most anti-bacterial products such as hand-sanitizer often does more harm than good?

Some anti-bacterial products claim to kill off 99.9% of bacteria…but what about viruses? Most of these same products do NOT have any significant effect on viruses!

Further, many bacteria are “good” bacteria, things we need. While the bacteria that do cause illness can be treated with anti-biotics, illnesses caused by viruses cannot. We all know viruses are not curable…hence the common cold.
