I was going to ask you, do you think we can build up a natural resistance to super bugs? I'm kind of trying to decide whether or not to use antibacterial products, on the one hand using anti-bacterial products breeds super germs and apparently it doesn't even kill that much more bacteria than just cleaning with regular cleaning stuff. But then I started wondering, well what if I use anti-bacterial stuff and I breed super-bugs wouldn't I eventually build up a natural resistance in myself to super bugs? That would be a good thing so that if I ever go to hospital and get surgery or something and catch a super bug I might have a more natural resistance to them if I've been exposed a lot to them. But does it make any difference? Like aren't they just the same bugs that have evolved to be resistant to anti-bacterial stuff, namely triclosan and so they would affect me just the same as the non-resistant strain? Anyway because you're like a pharmacist or whatever you are I thought I'd get your opinion.
