Children in daycare are more likely to be sick simply from being around other children (and possibly because they are less likely to be breastfed) but there has not been this wonderful decrease in contagious illness since the availability of hand sanitizer--or anti-bac soap. In fact, I do think we will see more chronic disease from all the exposure to triclosan.

If you use anti-bac soap, you should read this http://www.ewg.org/node/26701

I know, I was just pointing out that everyone touches poop germs, technically.
Not sure if you meant "you" in general or me in yer last sentence, but I dont use anti-bac soap
