A group of Chilean scientists discovered that triclosan, popular antibacterial used in various daily cleaning products, would be toxic and generate cognitive damage.

Triclosan is present in shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, dishwashers, and even fabrics and shoes, and its harmful effect is manifested mainly in the nervous system and neurons.

The results of the research were captured in the journal Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, whose authorship is part of the Millennium Institute of Biomedical Neuroscience (BNI), a member of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Chile.

Previous studies have also taken into account that triclosan causes damage to the liver, intestinal and skeletal muscle and cardiac. In other countries, such as the United States, results of this chemical have been detected in tissues of animals and humans.

Through an experiment with mice, six control specimens are used and another six are tested, three injections are administered one day apart. All were released in a labyrinth with a reward at the other end.

The result was that the animals exposed to the toxic failed and circled without meaning, realizing that the component also affects memory and spatial sense. In addition, the scientists determined that high concentrations of the toxic are not needed to produce the damage.

However, they assure that the alert is especially focused on older adults and children and assured that it would be the most convenient to remove the component of hundreds of products that are easily found in the supermarket today.
