FDA Seeks Tougher Rules For Antibacterial Soaps 160
barlevg writes "It's long been a concern that the widespread use of antibacterial soaps is contributing towards the evolution of drug-resistant 'superbugs,' but as the Washington Post reports, the Food and Drug Administration also does not believe that there is any evidence to support that the antibacterial agents in soaps are any more effective at killing germs than simply washing with soap and water. Under the terms of a proposal under consideration, the FDA will require that manufacturers making such claims will have to show proof. If they fail to do so, they will be required to change their marketing or even stop selling the products altogether."

Yes yes, and then you should spin around 3 times to the left, walk twice back and forth to the door, and then wash them two more times. Spin to the left on even repetitions. If you get it wrong, you must start over.

from my warm, well-sanitized hands.

You should wash your hands long enough to sing Happy Birthday(c) twice.
That's long enough to scrub off the bacteria. Also, entirely coincidentally, long enough for the RIAA to get a fix on your position.
