    I don't worry too much about the ethyl alcohol (antiseptic) 'quick kill' effect becoming a problem long term, but I AM concerned about the widespread use of antimicrobials/antibiotics inadvertently creating another super bug.  There's already concern that the overuse of dish and hand soaps that contain an antibacterial agent is the perfect breeding ground for just such a scenario (another one!)
