Blood and bodily fluids can carry hazardous bacteria, viruses, disease and bloodborne pathogens. Exposure, without the right personal protection, is a serious health and safety risk. Attempts at cleanup are often emotionally distressing, physically dangerous, and (even worse) inadequate. If you disturb blood and bodily fluids without proper containment or proper personal protection, this can cause cross-contamination to clean areas, risk the spread of dangerous bacteria, and make you sick. Blood and bodily fluids can soak into porous surfaces, under flooring, behind walls, behind wall fixtures and into furniture. Even a little bit of fluids left behind can spread disease, cause infections and become a major health concern.
Whether it is an accident, suicide, homicide or unattended death -- trauma scenes can be overwhelming for those left behind to pick up the pieces. Consumed by the stress of the situation, family and friends can feel at a loss and don’t know what to do next. Sometimes the stress drives family and friends to impulsively do whatever it takes to clean the mess on their own. However stressful the situation, it is important to stop and contact professional trauma scene cleaners
for help.
