Antiseptics versus Disinfectants - What's the Difference?

Blog Categories:

Author: Selena Belisle, Founder/Instructor, CE Institute LLC, Miami FL

Antiseptics: are germicides applied to living tissue and skin. You can use an antiseptic on yourself (or others) to try to kill germs.

Disinfectants: are antimicrobials applied only to inanimate objects. You can apply disinfectants to objects or surface areas to try to kill germs (you should always clean prior to disinfecting an object or area). Disinfectants are not made to apply to a human body. You should use gloves when handling disinfectants.

In general, antiseptics are used only on the skin and not for surface disinfection, and disinfectants are not used for skin antisepsis because they can injure skin and other tissues.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience in case it can help someone going through what I went through. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with herpes. It was a very difficult time for me emotionally, physically, and mentally. Like many people, I believed what I had always heard: that there was no cure and that I’d have to live with the virus for the rest of my life.
Despite everything, I didn’t give up hope. I spent a lot of time researching, trying different treatments, and looking for anything that might help. Eventually, a close friend told me about an herbal doctor named Dr. Utu. At first, I was skeptical, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I reached out to him, and after a detailed conversation, he sent me an herbal treatment. I followed the instructions exactly as he provided.
To my surprise, after about a month, my symptoms were completely gone. I felt better than I had in a long time. I went to get tested multiple times over the following months, and each test came back negative. I couldn’t believe it after years of carrying this virus, it was gone. I waited a long time before sharing my story publicly because I wanted to be absolutely sure. Now, after consistent negative tests and no symptoms, I feel confident saying that Dr. Utu’s herbal remedy helped me in a way that no conventional treatment ever did.
If you’re dealing with herpes and feel like you’re out of options, I encourage you to explore every possibility. This worked for me. If you want more information, here is Dr. Utu’s email: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com

For a long time, my life was overshadowed by the challenges of managing a herpes virus infection. I suffered from painful outbreaks on my penis, and these blisters always seemed to surface when I was feeling unwell. This cycle of discomfort was exhausting, especially since I had tried various medications like Valtrex and acyclovir, but none provided the permanent solution I desperately sought. My doctor informed me that there was no cure for the virus, but deep down, I couldn’t accept this reality. I have a strong belief in the power of nature, and I am a devoted follower of Dr. Sebi’s philosophies regarding holistic health.
One day, a friend recommended Dr. Utu’s herbal cure, sharing her own success story of complete recovery within just four weeks. Encouraged by her experience, I decided to reach out to Dr. Utu and ordered the herbal remedy. To my amazement, after following the treatment plan diligently, I found myself completely cured of the virus.
This transformation has significantly improved my quality of life. I now feel free from the constant worry of outbreaks and can enjoy life without the physical pain and emotional stress that once plagued me. I urge anyone battling similar challenges to explore all options available. Don’t let anyone mislead you—there is an alternatives worth considering. If you’re seeking a permanent cure, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Utu at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
