We should ban soap too so bacteria don’t get immune to that.
I’m guessing this is sarcasm but soap works through a mechanical process of helping to push the bacteria off your skin, rather than a chemical process of killing them.
Interesting. And the FDA banned antibacterial soap?

Very creative idea!
Technically, it does both.
