Last week, during comments at the Bipartisan Policy Center, Republican Senator Thomas Tillis of North Carolina suggested that it was government gone overboard to regulate food service workers' hand washing.

And, to make sure we all stay well, let's also return to a 2007 Environment Report story. Is our use of antibacterial soap creating a "super bug"? Which product is better for your health and for the environment? Rebecca Williams referees the grudge match: "Antibacterial vs. Plain Soap."
For more reporting at the intersection of health and the environment, tune in to the Environment Report Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:50am and 5:45pm.
