[QUOTE="BobM, post: 9621, member: 1444"] [b]Soap, cleansers[/b] There was an article (in New Scientist I think) that studied washing with no soap at all, just water. After a few days the skin chemistry adjusts to the new regime and there is no antisocial smell - nor does your body become a seething cesspit of germs. What about germs from trips to the toilet, I hear you ask? An excellent question indeed! To which I reply: How many of us scrub up to remove germs like those TV doctors after our toilet stops - which is the only guaranteed way to dislodge bacteria. In fact, how many of us [b]always[/b] use soap on such occasions? Hmmm?? I now mount my soapbox (laughter) and declare to one and all that society (at least in Australia, where I live) has become far too obsessive about cleanliness to the degree that there are supermarket shelves full of personal and household cleaners to rid us of the very last microbe - even those that may actually be doing some good by challenging our immune systems.
