        I actually think this is false. As far as I understand it, A lot of hand sanitizers were believed to basically collapse the cell wall. People didn’t really think an adaptation that big could occur.

        That is, alcohol based sanitizers at least. The New Scientist article was much more informative. And I believe enough alcohol still does the trick

        Washing with soap and water is the best option when it comes down to it. The bugs are going to the one la that kill us I’ve said it all along

        Ever wonder why bacteria never built an immunity to soap?

        Because soap isn't antibacterial?
