Antibacterial Soap Awash?

Have you ever wondered if antibacterial soap is really necessary? Here are some things you should know before you refill your hand soap dispenser.

• Antibacterial soap is formulated to prevent spread of bacteria not viruses. The flu and other contagious illnesses are viral.
• Studies have shown that hand washing properly is what is important for clean hands, not the type of soap you use (http://www.medpagetoday.com/InfectiousDisease/GeneralInfectiousDisease/6432).
