Here's the problem!!!!!!!! The place we like to call home may soon become a safe haven for super strains of bacteria or viruses. What is cuing this is the use of popular antibacterial products such as soaps and body washes introduces an antibacterial compound called triclosan into the environment. Triclosan interacts with bacteria -- and, as is their nature, the bacteria develop resistance to the compound. The accumulation of triclosan in the environment could lead to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, Rock said. As a result, the very antibacterial products designed to kill the bacteria would become ineffective. This possibly meaning that there maybe will be more colds, or at a more extreme level an epidemic.
