Question
Chapter 9, Problem 8CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Whether the commercial widespread use of antiseptic and disinfectant had hurt or helped Americans.
Introduction:
The antimicrobial resistance occurs when the same drug is repeatedly used on the particular organisms. There are possibilities that the microbe might undergo genetic mutation to show resistance to the drug or the microbe has the capability to gain resistance from other species. Resistance can be seen in all the diseases causing pathogens, like antiviral resistance, antibacterial resistance, and antifungal resistance.

Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) can cure AIDS, Ebola, cancer, and malaria. Or at least that the website tells potential customers. The inventor and chief advocate of the products is Jim Humble. There is little evidence to support the fact that MMS does anything to patients aside from making them feel worse than they did before they tried it. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is typical in its conclusions about the so-called miracle drug. The FDA is typical in its conclusions about the so-called miracle drug. The FDA identifies it as 28 percent sodium chlorite, which , when mixed with an acid (as recommended), produces a potent form of bleach. The product’s labels suggest high oral doses for the minimum effect. The FDA states the oral doses will produce nothing but nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and diarrhea. Humble claims to have “treated” 100,000 patients in Mexico and other parts of the world. It is also clear that MMS has been used on pancreatic and lung cancer patients…
The question below is one question I just separated the question marks
