Hi donhocspa~
Here are several links, which explain what bacteria are commonly found
in homes, and what (if anything) can be done about it:
"Worried About Bacteria?" Home Ecology:
http://home.comcast.net/~homeecology/Cleaning/Cleaning_sub-pages/Worried_About_Bacteria/bacteria.htm
"The truth is, it is impossible to rid our environment of bacteria.
Our bodies and all surfaces that we come into contact with are covered
with bacteria with which we have evolved an equilibrium that keeps
both the bacteria and us safe and usually disease-free. It appears
that successful cleaning simply involves mechanically reducing buildup
of unusual concentrations of bacteria using simple soaps rather than
any type of attempt to "sterilize" or "disinfect"."

"How To Help Avoid Foodborne Illness in the Home," Federal Citizen
Information Center: http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/food/foodborn/foodborn.htm
"Each year an estimated 80 million Americans suffer from foodborne
illness, more commonly referred to as food poisoning. While eating
bacteria-contaminated or undercooked meat and poultry is a common way
of getting foodborne illness, another major culprit is food handling
and cross-contamination. In fact, it's estimated that half of all
Salmonella cases result from unsafe handling of food in the home."
"Is Antibacterial Soap Any Better Than Regular Soap?" How Stuff Works:
http://home.howstuffworks.com/question692.htm
"Some scientists theorize that bacteria may develop a resistance to
bactericidal agents over time. Some bacteria actually benefit us. The
normal population of bacteria on our bodies not only eats our sweat,
but also helps defend us against truly harmful, invasive bacteria.
Many common diseases are viral in nature, anyway, and are therefore
not prevented by antibacterial products."
