Here is a picture of Alexander Fleming. He is credited with the discovery in 1928 of penicillin. One of the greatest 20th Century discoveries. Why are were talking about him, you ask. Well this last week in the news, the FDA actually started to ban some chemicals in antibacterial products. You see maybe killing off all the bacteria isn't such a good thing. I personally never was a big user of the antibacterial soap or sanitize; however, two weeks into this cold, maybe I would go back and used these products more.
Well here is the story behind antibacterial products. This is a good website to explore and make up your own mind. www.visionlaunch.com/when-was-antibacterial-soap-invented/
Also here is a nice little article of the banning from science news www.sciencenews.org/blog/science-ticker/fda-bans-chemicals-antibacterial-soaps\
Discussion questions: Have your in the past been a user of these types of products? Do you believe it is a good idea to use antibacterial soaps and sanitizes still? What other types of research do you think still needs to be conducted?
