Antibacterial products and disinfectants are used incessantly and deemed essential in today"s society. Antibacterial products inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, essentially killing them. They are used domestically to disinfect homes from harmful bacteria and in medical clinics and hospitals where cleanliness and a bacteria- free environment are necessary for the health of patients. However, antibacterial use has become a controversial issue in the scientific world; its use has countless risks associated with it. Infants consistently exposed to antibacterial agents may experience an abnormal maturation of the immune system because it has not been exposed to necessary bacteria to allow maturation, leading to a possible rise in allergies among children (levy 2001).
