My best recommendation is to use lots of tea tree oil, take echinacea, and if you can hit up a health food store alternate hepar sulfate and silicea…

I hope that no one else gets these, they are truly miserable =(

I'm a Public Health major and my Microbiology professor warned me about it. It is a potential danger to you and the environment and is completly unnecessary to include in personal care products.

Your soap will be just as effective at getting bacteria off your hands without Triclosan!

So read the ingredient label on the soap you buy and if it contains Triclosan it's time to look for another kind.

So for now cut back on the anti-bacterial soap when it isn't necessary. It couldn't hurt.
