So thinking around the idea of a general store or barter COMEX, I started looking at hygiene. Very important because cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Just looking south of the border you can see now nasty and dangerous that area is. (This also proves barter is a good solution when money has no value and basic supplies are in short supply)
A simple cut can kill you and soap is one of the things I see as important to maintain a civilized lifestyle.
I remember when Ivory soap was 5 cents per bar and a 3 pack was 10 cents it was 100% pure clean. In the 50's special soaps were created to keep germs away, turns out the only soap on the market today that has actual anti-bacterial properties is DIAL.
Ivory is $5 per 8 pack now and DIAL antibacterial soap is $4 per 8 pack.
I'm thinking about getting the case size at Sam's 22 pack for $8, this way I can see a 14 cent return on investment. Knowing the value of germ fighting soap will be priceless over the less effective standard soaps it may be a 100% return on investment with exchanges in goods or services. (Fix the fence - run security duty - dig a well - clean the latrine)
When trying to locate the best prices I found out something more most of the effective germ killers are now banned. Dial being the last true antibacterial soap uses benzalkonium chloride .10%. Obama's EPA banned the 40 year proven effective triclocarban because get this (IT KILLED GERMS) almost as if they wanted to get people sick? It is true the increase of skin diseases has increased 30% in the year since the ban took place. Last year alone the cases of flesh eating bacterial infections have increased 10 times what was reported the year before(2017 - 2018). The old guard government holdovers has linked this to "GLOBALL WARMING" and not their idiotic ban!

The old school germ killers we used In the 1950s Phisoderm and Phisohex were manufactured by Winthrop Laboratories they were awesome. Surgical theaters have long since banned their use even though they were incredibly effective and inexpensive tools that killed germs see Hexachlorphene. Anything over .01% was deemed too effective at killing germs in the 70's and forcibly removed from the market and manufacturing.
For my personal use I still have the old school 7% safeguard and 3% Dial containing triclocarban. You can still get the 50's soaps from military surplus but they want $25 for six bars.
In a surgical care environment I am keeping the good quality hexachlorphene and body scrubs using betadine There is a new product on the market but I won't be bartering it due to cost -
