b. False. “Dr Chutkan claims the human body only needs a “rinse” most days – even after a sweaty workout.”
c. False. “ the vast majority of microbes on your skin and hands are not virulent germs that cause serious infection; they’re harmless bacteria that won’t hurt you,”
d.  False. “untreatable bacterial infections were emerging globally due to the widespread use of anti-bacterial gels. The report suggested a number of common viruses had mutated into drug-resistant strains, making them much harder to control or eradicate.”
