Everyday Preventitive Actions That Can Help Fight Germs ,Like Flu

Cleaning removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.

• WASHINGTON — After more than 40 years of study, the U.S. government said Monday it has no evidence that the antibacterial chemicals used in countless common soaps and washes help prevent the spread of germs, and it is reviewing research suggesting they may pose health risks.

• Regulators at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said they are revisiting the safety of chemicals such as triclosan in light of recent studies that suggest the substances can interfere with hormone levels and spur the growth of drug-resistant bacteria.

“I suspect there are a lot of consumers who

assume that by using an antibacterial soap

product they are protecting themselves from

illness, protecting their families,” said

Sandra Kweder, deputy director in the FDA’s

drug centre. “But we don’t have any

evidence that that is

really the case over

simple soap

and water.”

Experts are concerned that routine use of antibacterial chemicals such as triclosan contributes to a surge in drug-resistant germs, or superbugs
