Remove Blood Stains
Blood stains are more than just unsettling and difficult to remove--they can also be deadly. Blood-borne pathogens are micro-organisms present in human blood and other bodily fluids. The most common, dangerous diseases spread by blood-borne pathogens include the HIV virus, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. HIV destroys the body's natural ability to fight disease, and the HIV virus can be carried for years before symptoms of illness and the more advanced condition called AIDS becomes evident. Hepatitis B and C can be easily transmitted through unprotected contact with blood. Health care workers and other professionals who come in contact with blood may receive a hepatitis B immunization, but many members of the general population have not been immunized. Hepatitis B can lead to severe illnesses, including cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. The disease known as hepatitis C causes inflammation of the liver which can eventually lead to death. This disease can also be transmitted by exposure to infected blood specimens and other bodily secretions. Hepatitis C currently affects over four million Americans, but unfortunately, no vaccine is available. Whether you've recently lost a loved one or endured a home-related mishap or car accident, don't attempt to remove blood stains on your own. It's important to let trained professionals handle the cleanup and decontamination of your home, car or any other location.
