I've been wondering about these gels, which are often advertised as
antibacterial. I was under the impression that overuse of
antibiotics had contributed to the "superbug" phenomenon: that is,
the development of drug-resistant bacteria. Does the use of
antibacterial gels have the same (side) effect?
