Do you use anti bacterial products?

Yep, heard that, don't use them if I can, the only one that doesn't do it is the natural product - Tea Tree oil.

I don't use them. I know all about the super germs. Since I used to get bronchitis on a regular basis, I had to take progressively stronger antibiotics. Those stronger ones are almost worse than the disease. The headaches, nausea, and other horrid reactions are terrible. Our neighbor lady cleans constantly. She's almost rabid about having everything clean, clean, clean. I'm almost the opposite. She has to deal with allergies to almost everything around her. I finally got over my bronchitis bouts and am not allergic to anything else. So it seems to point out that dirt is good for you. Or that she has to clean because of the allergies. Note: I never heard she was allergic to anything while in her mother's house. They lived on a farm, so she ate the usual farm produce. Including fresh cow milk. So I don't know what the answer is. Being as I hate cleaning, I think I'll stay with how I'm doing it!

I never use these products on day to day life.I usually never take medicines or antibiotics without the doctor's prescription.I just have the habit of washing my hands before taking food and I have taught that to my daughter too.

They, whoever they are, say a lot of different things. They say to wash our hands with anti bacterial soap and yet they say that it is no good for us because the ingredients in it are no good for us. They say they get absorbed in our skin and that is not good for our health. So who do we believe these days? I think as long as we do whatever it is we are doing, in moderation, than it is okay to do it. I think it is when we go overboard continuously over our life time, that we are harmed. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

I use antibacteiral soap and I use Purell hand sanitizer. I have heard to use Purell as some of the other hand sanitizers will start to not work as good or something. I work in a child care setting and we sanitize the toys all day long with sanitizing wipes and we also have a container or Purell on the wall.

Yes. I've read that these anti-bacterial soap, sanitizer and other products can harm our skin. I feel they are very harsh and do more damage than good. Let us use the regular conventional methods than resort to these. Keep them only for emergencies and decrease your dependency on them.

I normally do not use anti bacterial soap. I am nor aware about the fact that using such products can harm our skin. I feel it could be true to some extent, as we take antibiotics, new bacteria of different proportions start developing to resist the normal antibiotics, then we go for higher value antibiotics, same may be the case here.

I have used antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer before. I don't use either of them on a regular basis though. I have also heard that being too clean is not good for us either. We need to get exposed to some germs so that out immune systems can fight off some germs.

I just had a baby. And I have hand sanitizer at the ready. Late night feedings and such it is just easier to have on hand. Soap and water work the rest of the time. I haven't heard about it being harmful.

A lot of sanitizers work well, and I see them in hallway dispensers in hospitals, schools, day care centers and even atop the gangways of cruise ships. However, it really doesn't help stop the spread of stomach disease so it's kind of pointless from my point of view. Also, using the sanitizers kill our 'good' bacteria that are supposed to actually help our bodies. From a doctor's advice, I'd tell you to not use them and to instead just wash your hands with soap :)

I only use these in a limited way. We handle large animals and so we use them when we have done that, it's just to easy to transfer some really bad bugs. But most of the time we just use soap and water to wash in.

I use antibacterial soap but I don't use it too much. I try not too be too "clean" because, as you said, it can weaken the immune system.

I am using Pond's antibacterial facial wash on my face. I have never heard of it making our immune system weak but i will take note of that. I guess it makes sense. The more germs are moderated, i guess they adapt to it and find their way in. I don't know. I feel like we don't have a choice. Using antibacterial products is also healthy living. I guess we should just leave it to the experts to sort it out because for now, we just can't be complacent.

yes obviously my soap is a antibacterial one and i dont use any specific antibacterial products since i dont have any anti bacterial infections

Yes, I use special powders to kill prickly hit during peak summer. But that is a for 1 month in a year. It's true that regular use of such products is not good. So, in other months, I do not use such powders.

I do not use any antibacterial products. I just use soap to wash my hands. Cheers!!

we did once we had grandkids, and just kept them

I do have hand sanitizers but i do use them every other day if not, maybe twice a week only since i am at home so i don't need to put hand sanitizer a lot. My hubby do seldom buy anti bacterial soap, sometimes we use it. I think you are right about getting immune when we use this products regularly. That is why we should be using this product every once or twice a week or every other day like what me and hubby use to do. The other products we use were mostly cleaning products that has anti bacterial properties like dish washing liquid soap. This one, we use everyday when we wash plates, but i don't mind to use it since i am dealing with plates. And it has to be squeaky clean.

Not really, I don't used such product, I think it is very troublesome with all those stuff. About those article written for that particular product's I have not read either. I think there are pros and cons, it is not that bad.

use of prodcts that have chemicals would really ahrm us. natural agents are always best. although i also use soaps but the chemicals are too strong that sometimes it hurst our skin and even our body. a natural antibacterial agent i know is garlic
