"I thought bleach and alcohol were thought to not create pressure for resistance because of their nature."
Agreed, and I missed if this article stated otherwise. Also we have been adding chlorine (the active ingredient in bleach) to our water supply for over 100 years ago and that experiment hasn't produced resistant microbes AFAIK.
- balaji1 3y agoThe article is obviously not proposing a strong suggestion. It even seems to create a case against bleach and alcohol which are least risky and probably very cheap.
