抗菌不等于越多越安全
Modern hygiene has saved countless lives, so it is easy to assume that stronger germ-killing products are always better. The reality is more complicated. Cleanliness protects health, but constant chemical attack can also create pressure for microbes to adapt.
Antibacterial soaps and household products often promise a sense of control. Yet when antimicrobial chemicals are used widely and casually, the surviving bacteria may be those best able to tolerate stress. Over time, that selective pressure can contribute to harder-to-treat strains.
