(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
It is found in soaps, deodorants, toothpastes and is impregnated in an increasing number of cosumer products, such as kitchen utensils, toys, bedding, socks, and trash bags.
However, an article in the August 6, 1998, issue of Nature warned that its overuse could cause resistant strains of bacteria to develop, in much the same way that antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains are emerging. Researchers from Tufts University School of Medicine found that triclosan has a specific action on bacterial cells, meaning that it could be considered an antibiotic. The findings lead the researchers to warn that bacterial resistance to triclosan is a distinct possibility, and that its widespread use may be unwise.
