    Is there a better article than this? The list of recalled soaps feels incomplete and I'm not sure whether that was a formatting decision or a "let's pump this fda press release through an llm" decision.

    Stop using antibacterial soap. Just using soap washes the bacteria off your skin and down the sink. We don't need to try to kill them and encourage resistant strains.

    I think the US has mostly phased out antibacterial soap. The FDA rescinded its authorization of triclosan and a bunch of other similar antibacterial ingredients in 2016 and prohibited the marketing of antibacterial soaps and body washes with those ingredients as antiseptic or antibacterial.

    This particular contamination of these 6 recalled products are hand soaps that aren't antibacterial.

    No, it's still widely available. I have to have this argument with my wife on a regular basis.

    Huh, interesting. What brands are still marketing themselves as antibacterial soap, and what are their active ingredients?

    In Donald's America... even soap isn't trustworthy anymore?

    anti biotic resistant bacteria I understand as (god given power of) evolution. Soap resistant bacteria?????? That's definitely "no longer chosen people" stuff right there.

    Hello America! This week, [spins wheel] SOAP is contaminated with [spins wheel] DEADLY BACTERIA!

    This is a shameless rip off of that tweet by this person on that other site which I think of every time something like this drops.

    I guess America is truly great now that you need to check for recalls before washing your hands with hand soap you bought at a grocery store lest you get a brain infection

    The other recalled soaps are potentially contaminated with several types of Pseudomonas and Serratia bacteria, which are known to be resistant to antibiotics and can cause complications including blood infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, eye infections, brain infections, bone infections and heart infections.

    They are the largest group receiving welfare benefits, and maga states are overwhelmingly welfare states while many of the other states are donor states, giving far more than they take in taxes...so magats don't work.

    A stable genius once suggested (in a stable and genius-like manner) to inject bleach...

    So, and hear me out here, instead of using soap to wash the outside why don't you guys just inject bleach to wash from the inside out?
    Genius move, or what? {taps head}

    And if the bleach does does not work, you can always shine a very, very bright light up your bum to disinfect things. People are sayin', lots of people, very good people, the bEST people.
