I believe some of the schools are using these for the kid's hand cleaning prior to lunch. I wonder how much of the residue from the wipe they are ingesting.

I just did a three-part series at my blog on the dangers of antibacterial, and you can find more detailed information about the DIFFERENCES between anti-bac products and the ones you REALLY want to avoid, as well as "the science of soap" and how to simply wash your hands well. My family hasn't even had a cold for 4 months, and we live in Michigan and have a crawler (who is in a nursery once a week) and a preschooler. Seriously. You can be healthy without anti-bac products. Please visit Kitchen Stewardship for more! Absolutely!

I think it's very important to wash one's hands after using the bathroom. But we should wash them with regular soap. @ Tyler: I don’t know about that… I think it’s very important to wash one’s hands after using the bathroom. But we should wash them with regular soap.
