Is it necessary to use disinfectants frequently? Is there any harm in using antibacterial products frequently?

For ordinary families, it is not necessary to use disinfectants frequently.

Wiping the floor with disinfectant can really kill bacteria to a certain extent, but frequent use does more harm than good. So what are the hazards of frequent use of antibacterial products?

Firstly, if antibacterial products are often used, the resistance of microorganisms will be enhanced. As the saying goes, "extremes meet", sterilization is no exception. When you often use an antibacterial product to kill bacteria, bacteria will develop "drug resistance" over time, which greatly reduces the sterilization effect and brings great problems to the next sterilization work.

Secondly, it will cause harm to human eye mucosa, respiratory mucosa and other parts. Let's take 84 disinfectant as an example. The disinfectant contains hypochlorous acid, which is easy to decompose when exposed to light and produces hydrogen chloride, which is very irritating and toxic.

If exposed for a long time, it will irritate our eye mucosa, causing redness, pain, burning and other symptoms. At the same time, the pungent smell will damage the mucosa of our respiratory tract, leading to symptoms of nasal pain, dryness and itching, and even nosebleeds and sore throat.

Besides, it will do harm to our skin. In the process of using antibacterial products, it is difficult to completely avoid pollution, especially for non-professionals like us, who can't wear protective clothing for disinfection every time.

Most antibacterial products are irritating and corrosive. If it is contaminated on the skin, it will destroy the skin barrier and cause redness and pain on the skin surface if it is not treated in time. When I used disinfectant before, my arm was contaminated by disinfectant and I didn't treat it in time. My allergic reaction became red for a week.

Finally, antibacterial products such as 84 disinfectant are corrosive and will damage indoor furniture. Disinfectants are mainly used in floors, doors and windows, walls and other places. If antibacterial products are used frequently or in high concentration, there is no doubt that these household items will be damaged.

In the past, we could only smell the pungent smell of antibacterial products in public places such as hospitals and epidemic prevention stations. However, since the "Black Swan" incident, many families have gradually used alcohol and disinfectants for disinfection.

It is not impossible to do this, but pay attention to the frequency of use, such as once a month (for places that families really need to use, such as places where pets are kept). At the same time, after using antibacterial products, we should also pay attention to ventilation indoors, and people should not stay in the space for an hour.

Health is the cornerstone of life. Only by developing good living habits can we build this cornerstone.
