The biggest key take away I got from these readings was-everyday things I thought were normal can really be the ones making you sick. For example; bacterial wipes! I personally use wipes once every few days to clean my desk down. In my mind, I ma wiping away all the harmful bacterias and leaving it nice and clean for tomorrow. I make sure to come home and clean all the door knobs, car handles, cell phones once a week just to make sure everyone in the house is being, clean! The feeling of a freshly wiped down house is one that makes me happy from within. After learning that the main compound in the wipes is triclocarban, I have a new outlook about these cleaning products. This product has been researched to actually not cause as much as bacteria to die than I thought!
“Finding out that Living near livestock may raise your risk of picking up a so-called "superbug," methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to a new study (HealthDayNew).” This was alarming to know that now even the location of your house has the largest impact on your health. This may make many feel like they are not safe anywhere they go! It is hard for them to escape diseases when they live so close to one every single day.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing as you! I like to have disinfecting wipes by my desk and I like to wipe it down all the time. I really didn't know about the harmful effects. I thought what I was doing was good. I have a new outlook and I need to find a replacement for the wipes.
