Go easy on hand sanitisers. Use them wisely and in moderation.
…here’s the real point…
When you constantly use hand sanitizers, you never challenge your immune system.
It doesn’t have the chance to develop fully.
Not all bacteria are bad. In fact, small bacteria help to keep resistant bacteria under control.
Hand sanitizers kill off all the small bacteria. They allow resistant bacteria to grow unchecked.
But it’s not just bacteria becoming resistant you have to worry about.
The antibacterial ingredient in the hand sanitizer can be dangerous.
Most of those hand sanitizers that have become so popular have something in them called triclosan.
This chemical is also found in mouthwash, toothpaste and even toys.
Every time you use a hand sanitizer or any product that contains triclosan, some of it is absorbed into your skin and interferes with your hormones.
Triclosan has been shown to lower your production of thyroid hormone.
Low thyroid can give you symptoms like fatigue, muscle aches, and weight gain.
