there are some medical providers (myself included) that see antibacterial clothing as ineffective. we live in a world of germs and have to learn to deal with them. even doctors don't wear antibacterial clothing and they are the ones that should think about it. no one has really proved this to be effective. there are even critics of using antibacterial anything. will antibacterial clothing kill the good bacteria? maybe a little on the skin but most of the really good bacteria is inside. and antibacterial clothing antibacterial soaps sanitizers gloves etc would have little or no effect on those.
does antibacterial clothing affect health. does the antibacterial compound kill the good bacteria needed in the body?
