Skip the Antibacterial Soap
There's absolutely no reason to buy antibacterial soaps, according to the American Medical Association. While close to 50 percent of soaps sold in the States contain antimicrobial agents, the AMA claims there's no solid scientific proof that these soaps are better at preventing infection than regular soap. In fact, the group argues that antibacterial soaps may be doing more harm than good—by making bacteria stronger and more resistant to existing germ killers.

after a rough few weeks struggling with weight and weather, wrestling season is finally over. scottie lost in the first round of the ghsa state finals. he is now looking forward to pole vaulting season and then back for his senior season of football. next wrestling season is going to be about fun without as much focus on titles.
