Soap and Water May not be Enough to Fight MRSA Superbug
Date:11/8/2007

e Citadel's assistant director of Sports Medicine. "We've made Hibiclens part of our regular wound treatment program, using it for everything from abscesses to ingrown toenails. Our department also uses Hibiclens as their regular hand wash instead of soap and water, and I can safely say we have not had a single staff member contract MRSA to date."

Hibiclens and Hibistat Towelettes are available in the first aid sections at chain drug stores and pharmacies located in discount retailers.
