Good to see that the word is getting out. As a healthcare worker, I use antibacterials all the time. I always worried about the stuff available for home use as related to superbugs, and am so glad the FDA has basically set a moratorium on these products. Not only is there the superbug issue, but the chemical ingredient in them is carcinogenic. Basic soap and H2O or hand sanitizers with alcohol are great to have in the kit. Just remember, even though alcohol is more effective, it can not replace soap and H2O if there is visible soiling.
