Thank you for your informative article. I thought Chlorhexidine is only used in my pooch's shampoo - now I know why that darn 8 oz. bottle of shampoo costs nineteen bucks!
I appreciate the article, I think it is really important to understand the context of chemicals ^_^ Also I first saw it referenced in this review, although the author mistakingly attributed the article to Kindred (the editor of the article).
Awesome article! I am curious though, are there any side effects or possible health concerns regarding Chlorhexidine?
Actually they have studied it for years, there haven't been any issues with toxicity. I was concerned about that months ago because we went to a heavier concentration in our hand washes in the hospital. I found issue with allergic reactions to other additives they use with the chlorhexidine. I have used it alot when washing my hands 30 to 50 times a 12 hour shift and using to draw blood and start IV's.

I've actually wondered about the safety before, thanks for sharing!
