Microbe-phobia reaching a fever pitch

| No Comments

The Wall Street Journal reports on "a slew of new cleaning products aimed at germ-phobic homeowners."

Much of it plays on the fears consumers may have over E. coli or MRSA.

The story describes products using silver ions, copper oxide, steam, triclosan or ultraviolet light to kill bugs.

Wow. I like soap.
