Which of the following is true regarding disinfectants?

They are only effective against viruses
They can be applied without any safety measures
They should not be used on skin
They are safe to ingest

The correct answer is: They should not be used on skin

Disinfectants are chemical agents designed to eliminate or reduce harmful microorganisms on surfaces. The statement that they should not be used on skin is accurate because disinfectants are formulated for inanimate surfaces and not for use on living tissue. Applying them to the skin can cause irritation, allergic reactions, or other harmful effects. Options that suggest disinfectants are only effective against viruses or can be applied without safety measures overlook the broader scope of their functionality and the importance of personal protective equipment during use. Additionally, claiming they are safe to ingest is fundamentally incorrect as disinfectants are toxic and can lead to severe health complications if swallowed. Understanding the intended use of disinfectants underscores the importance of applying them correctly and safely in a barbershop or salon setting.
