How does Germstar work (is it an antibiotic, anti-bacterial?
Antibiotics are harmful to the immune system because they enable bacteria to grow and mutate into something that becomes resistant to antibiotics. Our product is not an anti-biotic. Our product is a bacterialcide. We kill bacterial with alcohol, there is no resistance to alcohol by the bacteria. Studies by the CDC have shown that bacteria has not grown in resistance to alcohol. The FDA has encompassed Purell as an anti-bacterial because of the residue it leaves on the skin because of the gel. The bacteria has an opportunity to grow underneath the residue which could mutate into a strain that could become resistant to anti-biotics, such as MRSA and VRE. Since we are not a gel, strictly a liquid aqueous rinse, there is no residue left behind on the skin that could enable any bacteria to grow and also bacteria and viruses have no resistance to alcohol so it kills it immediately on the hands.
