Name the 3 cellular structures in microbe cells that are most frequently targeted by the disinfectants and antiseptics. Do the disinfectants and antiseptics have the potential of attacking those same targets in human cells? If so, how do we keep ourselves safe when using disinfectants? How do we keep ourselves safe when using antiseptics?
