    OMG this is so scary. I work in a hospital and this past spring had a bad UTI and went to the doctor. She told me that she seeing more and more hospital workers with MRSA. I believe it, we wash our hands so many times with antibacterial soaps, betadine, hibicleanse, etc.. Here in Michigan, alot of schools and universities have reported cases and had to close the schools down to thoroughly clean everything.

    I've become a big fan of the alcohol based hand sanitizers...I like how they feel.

    Are these really better/safer than the antibacterial soaps?

    I was told to spray alcohol on a lot of stuff around my house and to let it dry not to wipe it off. So yes i would think they are better. The antibacterial soaps do not work on this infection. We are using something called hibaclens. We have to use it from head to toe every single day for a month. I have a bottle by all the sinks and that is what we are also washing our hands with.No other soap works to get rid of this staph. (Sigh)
    The worst part is the cyst my dh is dealing with is right where he's bike helmit strap goes. So he can't ride he's bike. And he is showing signs of being depressed over this. I feel so bad for him right now.
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
