Those so-called "Anti-bacterial" soaps are bad, Bad, BAD.  The consumer
variety literally cannot kill all the bacteria on your skin so all they
does is make evolution work in favour of the soap-resistant variants.

Did you ever wonder why surgeons scrub so long and so carefully with
such vile soaps and cleansers and then put on sterile rubber gloves just
in case (well the gloves are partly to protect themselves too)?
