we overuse antibacterial stuff for everyday items. it was bound to cause problems. Not every surface and hand need to be disinfected multiple times a day.

This isn't about disinfectant. That will always work if it's concentrated enough. We can't use that inside humans for obvious reasons - the hard part isn't to find something that kills microbes, it's to do it without harming the human.

Stopping use in farm animals is the best thing we could do at this point.

looks like you are right. It more about the misuse of antibiotics. Which i also feel are over used. Along with many other medications.
