FDA To Decide Fate of Triclosan, Commonly Used In Antibacterial Soaps

kkleiner writes "The FDA is finalizing its review of the antibacterial agent triclosan common to many soaps and other health/household products after four decades of use. Recent studies suggest the chemical may be harmful to animals and could interfere with the human immune system along with increasing the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The agency has been slow to cast a verdict, to much criticism considering its widespread use."

You're tough, you didn't die, you've lived to post about it.

Every kid that was killed by weird diseases caused by picking things up, isn't posting.
