Might want to read the back of some products around the house people. :eek:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162- ... mice-fish/
(CBS News) A chemical found in many antibacterial soaps, deodorants and mouthwashes has been shown in a new study to restrict muscle contractions in mice and fish, leading researchers to ponder what the results can mean for humans.

"These findings provide strong evidence that the chemical is of concern to both human and environmental health," principle investigator of the study Isaac Pessah, professor and chair of the Department of Molecular Biosciences in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, said in the press release.

Corporations are killing Americans for profit. I will never buy this product again. Is this why may hands don't have the dexterity they used to?
No Greg, it's called getting old. :rolleyes:

I have this thing called an Immune system. It's built-in, designed by Germans, and doesn't need help from gelatinzed alcohol products to serve its sole purpose.

At work, there are cans of Lysol disinfectant spray EVERYWHERE. Antibacterial gel bottles everywhere. Everyone is always sick.

I don't use any of that crap.

I'm never sick.

All food comes with bacteria already on it, you need to hit it with radiation to cleanse it. Saw it on Mythbusters.

Lol. I occasionally eat things that I drop on the shop floor. My coworkers think I'm nuts. In truth, whats on the floor is the same thing thats all over cars, and tires, and the machines. You are breathing it, and tasting it. It gets sprayed in your mouth, nose, ears, and on your skin.

I'm glad I'm not a germaphobe. Probably what's keeping me from getting sick all the time like the rest of my family. My cousin gets sick at least 10 times a year, because everything he touches, he rubs hand sanitizer on his hands.

Don't people get sick after flu shots because they're basically getting a live virus injected into them with it's metaphorical head chopped off?

I thought the point is so they have an immunity to a current form of that disease. Some just have overactive immune systems so they get sick after the shot...
Also, people who don't exercise much are the ones always getting sick because that's the other half of what people need to be strong against disease.

Actually now that I think about it I haven't been sick in 4 years. WTF!

When I say I haven't been sick I mean I haven't even had a common cold in 4 years! I guess my immune system is just a beast. :gotme

Oh, I catch it every year. The difference is, while everyone else is out of work for two days throwing up and boiling with fever using up a case of tissues, I sniff a couple of times, sneeze, hock a lunger, spit it out, and I'm done. It's like my body is say GTFO p****.

Lol. When I worked at McDonald's for those 3 years, twice a year I'd get a bronchial infection that lasted a day or two. However, I was never in bad enough shape to be laid up in bed. I could go about my business as usual except for the brief intense coughing every hour or so that made it sound like I was about to cough up a lung. Other than that, the last time I got sick to the point of having a fever was about 8 years ago.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! A little germ passing makes us all stronger, doesn't it? Lol. I was always careful to treat the customer's food like I'm the one that was about to eat it, so no I've never sneezed nor coughed over the customer's food.

I very seldom get sick anymore but I've had a cough for almost two weeks now. Antibiotics haven' done d*** for it. I'm about to the point of slamming a bottle of rum so I can be done with this s***.

A good cure for a 24-hour thing has proven to be a double-shot of grain alcohol for me and my friends...

Drinking more dehydrates you too much and causes things to get worse! (especially some sugary crap like rum)

I'm in the middle of my second gout attack in 3 months (caused by drinking too much OJ and having a steak sub, I think) and getting sick feels like it would be welcome compared to this crap. I'm in so much pain I feel like cutting the damn thing off...
