Hygiene protocols

[Hrusai]

superbugs have existed for millions of years, we've found them frozen in antarticas ice its the problem with current antibiotics, they're all derived from natural products, meaning that bacteria have had thousands if not millions of years to evolve immunity, this immunity lies latent in a small part of the population, and when we start to use the antibiotics and such like we wipe out almost all of that bacteria, apart from those that have the immunity genes, this small group then rapidly multiply and create a new population that has the immunity, if we created entirely new totally synthetic anti-biotics these would last for a very long amount of time before any bacteria evolve immunity to them.

otherwise heat and pure alcohol will easily take care of any sterilisation needs both before TSHTF and after and is reasonably easy to make...not to mention its useful for relaxation

i also agree with the whole too much cleaning is a bad thing, its the reason that allergies and such like are becoming much more commonplace, humanities newfound obsession with overcleaning is certainly a bad thing.

however after an event it'll be almost impossible to achieve such surgical levels of cleanliness, therefore having stringent standards of sanitation will be a good thing, but you cant expect to make things as clean as you would like to in an ideal setting.

personally im just going to rely on pure alcohol and home-made soap and water, clean all tools fairly regularly wash as often as possible and make sure all food and water is thoroughly cooked and sanitised, do all that and you can't go wrong.
