I suppose your the type of person to cover themself in colgate ultra.
erm!! whiter than white!!!

No cant say i have.

Antibacterial soap isn't good because it kills the "good bacteria" on your skin which can allow the bad bacteria to take over. Regular soap and warm water is better.

All this rubbish about anti-bacterial this and that infuriates me. I wonder how we manage to survive. The best thing is to use soap and water and absolute thorough drying of the skin with a towel. All this anti-bacterial stuff is killing off good bacteria and not giving people, especially children, the ability to build up natural immunity to things.
Did you know that half the problem of all these acquired infections could be avoided, by a quite dramatic amount if people only washed and dried hands thoroughly, especially paying attention to the webs between the fingers.
