While the triclosan found in many consumer products may kill weaker species of bacteria on the spot, the bacteria that aren't immediately destroyed can undergo mutations that allow them to thrive in the presence of antibacterial agents. Continuous use of triclosan-containing products is believed to be a contributing factor in the rise of bacterial "super-bugs" that are resistant to a number of antibiotic drugs.

This is pretty darned important.

I have never understood why triclosan is used in soaps and lotions and wipes. Under EPA guidelines,it is a pesticide,many other countries ban it from the very things we put it in!!!
