Heck, you could scrub and scrub and scrub until you bled and still never get rid of all the bacteria on your body!
We hear of staph infections in hospitals, but what we fail to recognize is that our bodies CARRY the staph infection bacteria evertwhere we go. It's only a real problem when it gets introduced into the bloodstream.
As for antibacterial overuse and complete sterilization of our environment, I'm fine with that. Keep in mind that as long as your own natural defenses havn't been ruined by this practice, you should be able to handle a lot more than these walking petri dishes!
Listen to these bacteria-alarmist and you will spot a trend....."My little Johnny caught a cold at a friends house, so I make sure they wash their hands all the time, and then he got the flu from "somewhere" and he was home sick for a week. Then his sister got the same thing."
Overuse of these "sterilization" practices has made people put "the cart befoere the horse" and think that they are fighting an epidemic when in reality they are probably starting one!
