Six Chemical Classes

No wonder I decided to write more about the overuse of antimicrobial and antibacterial products. I did my literature review on this issue and not going to repeat it here. Yet I was not able to find an explanation of what initially caused that pandemic excessive worry about getting an infection. I think it is interesting from a historical perspective. There were times, mainly in Europe, when bathing and washing was considered harmful, dangerous and even against religious views.  Modern trends dictate us completely opposite behaviors.
Therefore, I wanted to explore this phenomenon in a bit more depth. I found quite an interesting resource, the Toxic Free Future, which summarized main arguments and concerns towards the overuse of antimicrobial products. Here's the link https://toxicfreefuture.org/healthy-living/healthy-homes/antimicrobials/ Most importantly, the information in the link proves my personal thoughts about the chances of a healthy person without immune pathology to getting an infection. We live in an unsterile world. There is no need in trying to create a germ-free environment. Of course, I don't mean that we should stop cleaning. However, why and when did we lost our faith in our immunity and organism natural protective capacity?

If you have any thoughts and guesses about what caused the issue of overuse of antibacterial products to occur, please share.
