    Beware antibacterial soaps. Bacteria are good for you. Well, some of them, when they’re on the surface …

    Wouldn’t the anti-bacterial soap be cleaning your hands after you pressed the oh-so-nasty plunger? Break into small groups and discuss.

    Touch free faucets, soap dispensers and air dryers… and you still have to touch the doorknob/handle to leave the public restroom.

    Nobody understands Natural Selection. Any “anti-bacterial” product that “kills 99.9% of germs” is a super-bug breeding program. Avoid the stuff, and just use soap. Soap kills germs with a cell wall (which depends on lipids which are disrupted by soap).

    Many bacteria are your friends.

    I always wait until I’m in a public arena restroom to wash my hands.
