Stop using a loofah.

I was recently dealing with a patient and realized the thing that was making her sick was the loofah in her bathtub. The loofah was secretly poisoning her. They never fully dry out, and they're very porous, so they're the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and fungus. Every time you use it, you're rubbing that bacteria back onto your skin. Especially for people with sensitive skin, allergies, or conditions like eczema, loofahs can be especially dangerous. The bacteria and fungus grow in the sponge and lead to infections like staph, which can cause serious skin issues. But even if you don't have sensitive skin, you're at risk. So what can you do instead? Switch to alternatives like washcloths or silicone scrubbers. They're easier to clean, they dry faster, and they don't trap bacteria like loofahs do.
