Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home
By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial products don't reduce the risk for infectious disease symptoms in ordinary households, a new study claims.
"If you use non-antibacterial-containing soaps in the formulations that were described in this article and you use them appropriately, you're no worse off than if you use antibacterial soaps," says Dr. J. Todd Weber, co-author of an editorial appearing with the study in the March 2 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Question 1. FDA MUST APPROVE ALL COSMETICS BEFORE THEY GO ON THE MARKET.
True False

That's Right! Question 1 is False! Unlike drug companies, cosmetic companies
may use almost any ingredient they choose, with these exceptions: There are a few substances that are not allowed to be
used in cosmetics. All color additives must be approved for their intended
use. If a product or its ingredients have not been
shown to be safe, the product is supposed to have this warning statement on the label:
"Warning: The safety of this product has not been determined."

Question 2. USING MASCARA THE WRONG WAY CAN CAUSE EYE INJURIES AND INFECTIONS - EVEN BLINDNESS.
True False
![Page 8: 1 Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d565503460f94a3383b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Good for you! Question 2 is True! The most serious risk from mascara is scratching your eye
with the mascara wand, then getting an infection from germs on the wand. To use mascara safely, follow these rules: Never apply mascara in a car, bus, plane or any other moving
vehicle. It's easy to scratch your eye if you hit a bump or come to a sudden stop.
If mascara gets dried up, don't add water or - even worse - (yuck) spit into it to moisten it. This can add germs that may grow and cause an infection.
As mascara gets old, it is more likely to have germs growing in it. Throw it out after three months.
Don't share mascara - not even with your best friend. You might be sharing germs that way.
Remove all mascara, and any other make-up, before you go to bed. Bits of mascara can flake into your eyes and cause an infection

Question 3. IT'S FINE TO USE HAIR DYES ON YOUR EYEBROWS AND EYELASHES. AFTER ALL, THEY'RE HAIR, TOO.
True False
![Page 11: 1 Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d565503460f94a3383b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

That's Right! Question 3 is False! Never use hair dyes on the eyebrows and
eyelashes. Doing this can cause blindness. There are approved, safe colors for mascara and eyebrow pencils, but no hair dyes are approved for tinting or dyeing the eyebrows or eyelashes.

Question 4. TATTOOS USED TO BE PERMANENT, BUT NOW LASERS ARE AN EASY, RELIABLE WAY TO ERASE THEM.
True False
![Page 14: 1 Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d565503460f94a3383b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

You Guessed it! Question 4 is False! Lasers have made it easier to lighten tattoos, but it's not
as easy or as reliable as many people think. Lightening a tattoo generally takes several treatments and can be expensive. How well it works depends on the tattoo. Many tattoos can be lightened until they are much less noticeable, but usually a trace of the tattoo remains.
Also, some tattoo colors are harder to remove than others. Laser treatments can turn some tattoos darker instead of lighter, or change them to a different color. The same goes for "permanent makeup," which is a kind of tattoo. It depends on what ingredients went into the tattoo ink to produce the color.

Question 5. "CRUELTY FREE" OR "NOT TESTED IN ANIMALS" MEANS THAT NO ANIMAL TESTING WAS DONE ON THE PRODUCT AND ITS INGREDIENTS.
True False
![Page 17: 1 Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d565503460f94a3383b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Good for you! Question 5 is False! Even if a product never was tested in animals,
there's a very good chance its ingredients were. A company might call its products "cruelty free" because it isn't doing any animal testing on these ingredients now, although the ingredients may have been tested on animals in the past. In some cases, "no new animal testing" might be a more accurate claim.

Question 6a. IF A PRODUCT IS LABELED "ALL NATURAL" OR "ORGANIC," IT'S PROBABLY HYPOALLERGENIC.
True False
![Page 20: 1 Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d565503460f94a3383b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
That's Right! Question 6a is False! Remember, poison ivy is all natural, too! But
you probably don't want it on your skin. It is very possible to have an allergic reaction, or other irritation, from products labeled "all natural" or "organic." For example, lanolin, from sheep's wool, is a common natural ingredient in some moisturizers that sometimes causes allergic reactions.

Question 6b. EVEN IF A PRODUCT IS LABELED "HYPOALLERGENIC," IT MAY CONTAIN SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS.
True False
![Page 23: 1 Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d565503460f94a3383b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Good thinking! Question 6b is True! After all, people are individuals. And there's
no telling what any individual may be allergic to. According to the cosmetic industry, "hypoallergenic" means "less likely to cause an allergic reaction." But dermatologists - and consumers who have allergies - know that the word "hypoallergenic" on the label is no guarantee against an allergic reaction.

Question 6c. CHOOSING PRODUCTS WITH THE CLAIM "DERMATOLOGIST TESTED" IS A WAY TO AVOID AN ALLERGIC REACTION OR OTHER SKIN IRRITATION.
True False
![Page 26: 1 Antibacterial Products Don't Cut Infection Risk at Home By Amanda Gardner, HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 1 (HealthDayNews) -- Heavily marketed antibacterial.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d565503460f94a3383b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Right! Question 6c is False! "Dermatologist tested" doesn't really tell you
much, does it? It leaves you wondering about things like: Did the dermatologist work for the manufacturer? How many people was the product tested on? How long did the testing last? What were the results of the testing?
