Everything readers ever wanted to know about deadly viruses, killer parasites, flesh-eating microbes, and other lifethreatening beasties but were afraid to ask

What disease, known as "the White Death" has killed 2 billion people, and counting?

What fatal disease lurks undetected in air conditioners and shower heads, waiting to become airborne?

How lethal is the Ebola virus, and will there ever be a cure for it?

How do you catch flesh-eating bacteria?

Killer Germs takes readers on a fascinating (sometimes horrifying) journey into the amazing world of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and worms and explores the roles they have played in shaping the course of human history. From biblical plagues, to the AIDS crisis, to supergerms of the future, this updated and revised edition of the original covers the whole gamut of diseases that have threatened humanity since its origins.

It also includes a new chapter on the history of bioterrorism and the deplorable role it has played and is likely to play in the phenomenal diversity of diseases.

Nice Scent, Anti-bacterial, and Foams Up Nicely
Scent: White Tea Berry, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is probably my favorite liquid hand soap. It has a really nice fruity smell, it foams up, at least a little, on your hands, and has a nice berry scent. Each one of these bottles will refill several soft soap dispensers, so it's a decent value.

Light, clean scent and leaves hands feeling soft
Scent: Milk & Honey, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this hand soap at the sink and it’s been really pleasant for everyday use. The milk and honey scent is light and slightly sweet without being overpowering, which makes it nice for frequent handwashing. It lathers well and rinses off easily, and my hands don’t feel dried out afterward, which is something I’ve noticed with other soaps. It just leaves a clean, soft feeling without any residue. Simple product, but it does exactly what you want from a daily hand soap.

Great value and quality hand soap
Scent: Milk & Honey, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Very happy with this Softsoap Milk and Honey liquid hand soap. Good quality, nice scent, and doesn’t dry out my hands. I got it at a great price on Amazon and will definitely buy it again instead of from grocery stores. Highly recommended.

Great Value Antibacterial Hand Soap Refill
Scent: Crisp Clean, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Crisp Clean, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I use this refill to top off the Softsoap dispensers in both my kitchen and bathroom, and it has been very convenient. The large 50 oz bottle lasts a long time and refills several pumps, so I don’t have to buy small bottles as often. The Crisp Clean scent is fresh and pleasant without being too strong, and the soap lathers well while leaving my hands feeling clean without drying them out. The easy-pour spout makes refilling simple and helps prevent spills, although the bottle is a little bulky to handle when it’s completely full. Once the level goes down, it becomes much easier to pour. Overall, this is a practical and economical refill for everyday use. If you’re hesitating between buying multiple small pump bottles and a large refill, this one is better for saving money and reducing plastic waste.
