Question 1

If there is a zombie apocalypse, would this product counteract a bite, or would it be, like, you know, the end?

Accepted Answer

Good one!  I hate ripoff 3rd party sellers who think we don’t have brains & know how to take care of zombie bites! And Amazon allows it. I made my own hand sanitizer. Equal parts of Aloe Vera Gel & at least 70% alcohol. Add lavender drops (optional). I put it in 2 small bottles we carry everywhere & keep the remainder at home. I made disinfecting wipes and baby wipes. Less expensive & much nicer! .

Question 2

Did your bottle have a seal?

Accepted Answer

I received 32 ounce plastic bottle with no seal (but wrapped in plastic bag) and contacted the manufacturer.  This was their response on 3/18/2020:

"Per the FDA regulation under which Hibiclens is classified, it’s not required to have an inner seal.  Our smaller sizes sold at retail are required to have tamper evident seals on the outer cartons.  The 32oz is most commonly distributed via hospitals and clinics, thus not requiring any kind of tamper-evident sealing.  But, when you order those sizes from Amazon for product supplied directly from Molnlycke, Amazon places them in sealed plastic bags.

Unauthorized Amazon resellers may not use the plastic bags- I’m not implying that a reseller would tamper with the product, but they may not go to the same steps."

Question 3

Can this cause bacteria to be resistant if you keep on using it?

Accepted Answer

I am pretty sure the way it works makes it virtually impossible for things to become immune to the way this breaks their cell walls or viral envelopes.
The danger is in dependence since it is very effective and lasts at least one day.
The worry may then be that it worked very well and you are killed off your skin’s microbiome which normally protect you. Using daily and long term would mean they weren’t there to protect you when you stopped for some reason.

I use once or twice a week to wash my armpits instead of using deodorant daily.
If I stop use, it takes 4 days or so for any odor to return.

Question 4

Is this clear?

Accepted Answer

One thing that surprised me is that it is pink /red and it won't bleach out of white wash clothes, towels etc. It makes them a bit unsightly after washing, they become brownish red  ( even in bleach) but the product seems good.  I am spinal cord injured and use this on my skin when I think something requires it. I also use all white hand towels and washcloths for skin issues so that I can bleach them and get max clean. I still use this but have designated a few wash clothes to be used with this soap.
