The Completely Natural and Safe "Antibiotic"
Handwashing, one of the oldest and most powerful antibacterial treatments, may be the key to preventing MRSA (staph infections).
Without proper handwashing, the spread of germs follows a chain reaction. First, the germs come in contact with your hands and infest underneath your fingernails. They then enter your body through your fingernails and get into the blood vessels that feed your remarkably sensitive fingertips.
From there, the germs are transferred to areas of your body, such as your eyes, nose and mouth. The last stop is the spreading to other people or surfaces such as doorknobs or computer keyboards. The end result: Hand-to-hand contact infectious diseases.
With this in mind always remember to AVOID using antibacterial soaps. These soaps are completely unnecessary and could easily do more harm than good. As a matter of fact, the antibacterial compounds found in most of these soaps are likely contributing to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
