While we all wash our hands thoroughly and treat them with disinfectant sprays, experts assure us that this issue should be treated more calmly.
Since the pandemic took over the world, frequent hand washing has become the main recommendation of doctors. On the Web, you can find many videos that tell and show how to properly carry out this seemingly simple hygienic procedure.
Still, not all experts are convinced that hand washing protects against viruses.
So, the head of the headquarters for monitoring the situation with the coronavirus, doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov recently said that you should not use antibacterial soap.
“Doctors are not very good about antibacterial soaps in particular. It is believed to increase resistance (counteraction) antibiotics, ”the doctor said in the program“ On the Most Important ”on the Russia-1 TV channel.
According to the expert, antibacterial soap kills not only pathogenic bacteria, but also beneficial ones that protect the skin from viruses and infections.
Myasnikov emphasized that such soap should be used only for certain categories of patients – or in rare special cases. For ordinary people, the simplest soap is enough.
A well-known expert advised using liquid soap. This is because many bacteria accumulate on the surface of the lump, so this format of the product may well serve as a “carrier” of infection.
