  I am a junior at Mt. Ararat High.  I am conducting experiments
that are trying to prove the harms of using antibacterial soap
on a regular basis at home, work, school ect.  I would like to
be as accurate as possible, but I haven't been able to find a 
method of getting the actual bacteria off the hand and into some 
broth to use for the rest of the experiment.  Hopefully you will 
be able to help me out.  Thank you for your time!
