Reading Material

Not related to the reading material above:
So in lab the other day, we tested antimicrobial agents to see which was the most effective in killing germs. Here are some results
PURELL: popular hand sanitizer, NOT EFFECTIVE against E. coli. (sorry guys, its only alcohol that you're lathering on your hands)
BATH AND BODY WORKS ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP: teenybopper hand soap, HIGHLY EFFECTIVE against E. coli. (this stuff has triclosan, very good for you, bad for the little guys)
SCOPE: popular mouthwash, NOT EFFECTIVE against E. coli. (i'd worry if you have E.coli in your mouth. you should worry, too.)

I don't remember which other ones we tested, but these stood out the most. Happy shopping!
