Why Is There A Need For Antimicrobials?

According to the World Health Organization, infection is the #1 cause of death worldwide and the #3 cause of death in the United States. Twenty-five years ago, 90% of all infections could be controlled by antibiotics. Today that number is less than 50%. Today's chemicals, disinfectants and sanitizers are causing microorganisms to mutate, creating "superbugs." Mold is now considered a greater threat than asbestos and is far more prevalent. MRSA has surpassed AIDS in total deaths per year in the United States and the Centers for Disease Control tells us that 80% of infection is passed by human hands.
