Winter Storms + Disinfecants = Superbugs??


 

"Round 2" of artic cold air is sweeping much of the U.S. keeping many folks tightly shut indoors.  Our toleration of temperatures is interesting when seen on Facebook posts.  My southern friends are freezing in 20-30 degree weather whereas that would feel like a heat wave in my state!  Those in the Dakotas—how do you survive?

No matter where you live, being sequestered indoors poses health risks from an unlikely source—namely disinfectants.  We fear the spread of germs because of our close encounters with people so we combat that fear with the use of disinfectants.

I believe the word "disinfectant" when attached to a cleaning product, or hand soap is really an oxy-moron…


WHY? … Namely…

TRICLOSAN.  Triclosan is the most common ingredient found in disinfectant hand soaps, and hand sanitizers, hand dish washing soaps, as well as a host of other personal care products, and much more.

Triclosan is THE "disinfectant" agent that is put in our soap products, hand sanitizers, dish soaps, etc. This supposedly great chemical, is actually beginning to be found to encourage germ power!  Have you heard of "supergerms"?  These are bacterial germs that are adapting to their "environment" and are becoming resistant to antibiotics!

Every time you or your children wash their hands with disinfectant soap or use disinfectant hand sanitizers, their skin is absorbing triclosan and posing the potential for superbugs' resistance of antibiotics should your children or you need them.

You would serve yourself and your family better by washing up with plain soap and water.  Even the U.S. FDA advisory board would recommend simply using plain soap and water for hand washing.

Ticlosan is found in so many soap products that going with 100% all natural dish soap and 100% all natural laundry detergents (as found at Brightly Green Home Store) would further protect your family's skin from the absorption of triclosan.

Using Brightly Green All Natural Cleaners is the right, safe choice to protect your family from the harmful effects of disinfectants; namely triclosan.  Regular all natural cleaning with Brightly Green Cleaners and good hand washing practices (using Baby Harmony All Natural Hand Soap), wipe away germs safely and naturally.
