Disinfecting wipes may cause significant health risks
Disinfecting wipes, though commonly used, may do more harm than good due to toxic ingredients causing skin and respiratory issues. Studies link these wipes to asthma and fertility problems. Safer alternatives like soap and water, proper ventilation, and specific products from the EPA’s Safer Choice list are recommended. Disinfect only when necessary, especially if someone is ill or immunocompromised.
