karen15 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It's not omly antibiotics causing resistant bugs, it's also the plethora of germ killing handwashes. Plain soap and water does the same job and doesn't create resistant bugs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
