You scrubbed the skin. You soaked the instruments. You wiped the table.
 But the bugs came back — because you picked the wrong weapon.

In this episode, we tackle the external battlefield of infection control:
 the difference between disinfectants, antiseptics, and sterilants — and what actually kills.

🔍 You’ll learn:

• Why some products are safe on skin… and others destroy tissue
• Which agents kill spores (and which leave them behind)
• The real reason chlorhex sticks around — and why povidone-iodine doesn’t
• What makes hydrogen peroxide bubble (and why that means nothing)
• Sterilization benchmarks, toxicity traps, and board-level questions

🎯 Includes a board-style question + flashcard-style recap.
