It is widely believed that the use of antibacterial soap can prevent the spread of infections in children's groups. In fact, in the influenza-like period, hand washing antibacterial soap does not save from infections of the upper respiratory tract.
Dr. Michael Carlston, a professor of family and community medicine from the University of California Medical School, believes antibacterial soap varieties act excessively vigorously.
That is, they destroy not only pathogenic, but also "friendly" species of bacteria. Moreover, if the bacteria-friends are completely destroyed, then the most aggressive pathogenic bacteria survive. Thus, the disinfecting soap exposes us to the danger of being attacked by the most hardened in battle enemies.
