What can the abuse of an antiseptic lead to?

An antiseptic is considered an excellent way to disinfect hands, because of the pandemic, many began to actively use it.

An antiseptic will help remove bacteria and viruses from the surface of your hands. But it should be used several times a day, for example, after visiting a supermarket or public place. In other cases, it is enough to wash your hands with regular soap.
If you use a sanitizer too often, it can disrupt the natural microflora of the skin, which is home to beneficial bacteria. Antiseptics kill everything, both good and bad. In addition, antiseptics sometimes cause an allergic reaction.
But there is another problem that must not be forgotten - microorganisms can adapt to an antiseptic if a person uses it constantly. The development of resilience will lead to the fact that the tool will cease to perform its functions.

Use an antiseptic when you don't have access to soap and other disinfectants.
