If some diseases are caused by bacteria..


Question:
Why can't one use a CERTAIN ANTI-BACTERIAL SPRAY THAT CLAIMS TO KILL 99.9% OF BACTERIA.

Wouldn't that just kill most of the bacteria-caused disease?

Answers:
I think they're referring to surface bacteria. Diseases caused by bacteria cannot be sprayed. The bacteria is in your blood and needs to be removed.

Other Answers:
No, because the bacteria become resistent to those sprays.
And how would you go about ingesting those sprays to kill off the bacteria inside of us?

That .1% is the company's way out of a lawsuit. If anyone were to become ill from germs after using the spray, they couldn't sue the company because the label didn't say it was 100% effective.

It's a win-win situation for the companies because #1 they made money selling the germicide and #2, they can't be sued.

After all, who can actually prove the bacteria that made the person sick wasn't in the .1% the spray wouldn't be effective for?

Did you notice the label stating what it would not kill off? Chances are, it's not listed. The idea is to kill off the bacteria without killing the host. Household cleaners and bleach will kill bacteria but will also kill you. An antibiotic will target some aspect of bacterial metabolism or method of reproduction to kill them, but will spare the host.
