Unfortunately, many deaths in Monroe County Pennsylvania often need the remediation of a professional company. Bio-One of Allentown provides professional and discreet biohazard remediation services to Monroe County. Often times, a professional company is needed because after a death bodily fluid is left behind. This bodily fluid can penetrate through flooring, drywall, and other surfaces of a property. Attempting to clean this bodily fluid yourself can potentially put your property and your health at risk.
Handling blood poses potential health risks due to the presence of bloodborne pathogens. Bloodborne pathogens include viruses such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Direct contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials can lead to the transmission of these pathogens. It's crucial to follow proper safety precautions when handling blood, including using personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and, if necessary, masks and eye protection. Proper disposal of contaminated materials is also essential to prevent the spread of infections. Bio-One of Allentown is specialized in the remediation of trauma and death cleanup. We often remediate homicides, suicides, unattended deaths, and drug overdoses in Monroe County. After a death the body starts to decompose and give off odors and fluids.
The decomposition process involves the breakdown of a body's tissues and organic matter after death. It typically follows several stages:
- Fresh Stage: Begins immediately after death. Body temperature drops, rigor mortis sets in, and livor mortis occurs.
- Bloat Stage: Microorganisms start breaking down tissues, producing gases that cause the body to bloat.
- Active Decay: Insects and scavengers contribute to the breakdown of tissues. Decomposition becomes more noticeable.
- Advanced Decay: The body's tissues continue to break down, and fluids are released. A strong odor is often present.
- Dry/Remains Stage: Reduced microbial activity. Skeletal remains may be all that's left.
Factors like temperature, humidity, and the presence of scavengers influence the rate and progression of decomposition. Keep in mind that this is a general overview, and specifics can vary based on circumstances.
