Indeed. But the comment I was replying to said: <i>Lots of things kill bacteria. Bleach for instance.... Nobody is claiming that bleach is useful in similar applications.</i><p>I&#x27;m not claiming it is any kind of substitute for antibiotics.<p>It&#x27;s worth noting this in this context, because the mechanism the clay kills by is unknown. It maybe more similar to bleach and harmful to everything, or it maybe more targeted.
