How Urine Cleanup Can Protect Your Health?

Exposure to cat urine and feces are some of the most dangerous bio-hazard situations that a homeowner can face. Thus, urine cleanup becomes as essential and as complicated as cleaning blood. A broad range of health hazards occur when homeowners ignore pet urine and feces cleanup. The general health of the inhabitants of a home may worsen causing infections, illnesses, and mortality in serious instances.

Hazards Associated with Cat Urine and Feces

Cat urine and feces are definitely dangerous for you. Cat feces can trigger a severe human disease called toxoplasmosis. In the first several weeks, exposure to the parasite referred as Toxoplasma Gondii can trigger flu-like signs. Once the parasite grows, a range of other neurological diseases, damaging consequences such as brain inflammation, and effects on the heart, liver, eyes and ears may also occur. 

Another disease that you can suffer from after exposure to cat urine or feces is called Cryptosporidiosis. This causes diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and a host of other problems. Like toxoplasmosis, cryptosporidiosis can influence both cats and humans. Cryptosporidiosis, like most zoonotic diseases, has the greatest effect on those with poor immune health.

Urine of all species includes unhealthy quantities of ammonia. While ammonia is discovered in different cleaning agents and industrial products, the emission is generally of a regulated type. For several days, litter boxes that are open and soiled with cat urine may generate a mild health concern. Exposure to large quantities of extremely focused quantities of ammonia in urine, particularly in cat urine, may trigger respiratory diseases as well as inflammation of the skin and eyes.

As the urine evaporates in its gaseous state, water is dispelled. As a result, the air can be contaminated by toxic fumes which can cause a number of problems to one’s airways.

Of course, if you already have pre-existing respiratory issues or a weakened immune system, you are more likely to develop health issues caused by cat feces and urine.

How Bio-One Can Help Realtors and Property Owners

Renters do not always treat the home they reside in as if it were their own- this is no secret. Sometimes more issues come up than expected once a renter moves out and the owner assesses the residence for potential repairments. Many tenants still ignore the rule amidst cigarette prohibition rule from the lease states. We can help with tobacco odor removal!  

Pets can damage a home by defecating and urinating on the flooring and or walls, which leaves an awful smell and a bio-hazard that is not easy to remove. We can help with the remediation of feces, urine, and odour from those situations!  

Hoarding and neglect of throwing away food and soiled items cause mould and a bad distinguished odour. We can help with hoarding removal, mould remediation, and the awful smell!  

How about a deep clean/sanitation of a residence that looks unclean, especially with COVID-19? Our proprietary chemicals are stronger and better than anything from local stores. We can make that residence sparkle and remediate any COVID germs that might be lingering...

Sometimes tragedy occurs in a home where the property owner is left to handle it- a crime or death occurs, causing damage to the home from the blood and other bodily fluids. We can help remove those bio-hazards and get the residence back in safe condition!

When First Responders leave and the crime scene tape comes down, Bio-One is always ready to help needy families. Recently, Bio-One of Orange received a call to help an apartment community as crime and trauma scene cleaners.

Upon arriving on the scene, there is always a sense of uncertainty; what is behind the closed door? The initial “shock and awe” quickly subsides to a job that needs the help of Bio-One for blood remediation. There is a need to formulate a safe game plan to properly clean such a scene.

1. Determine where a safe biohazard and blood-free zone is located to prevent cross-contamination that could potentially contain infectious diseases. This part needs proper placement of staging process of tools, chemicals and other needed materials for quick and clean access.
2.  All technicians must wear proper personal protective equipment or PPE in the the safe zone before getting to work.
3.  Moving into the scene, working in small sections and cleaning with Bio-One Certified Chemicals that will destroy infectious diseases is crucial.
4.  Blood on the carpet should undergo proper treatment, decontamination, and proper disposal. In the apartment mentioned, there was the master bedroom that had blood-stained carpet, but the bathroom had laminate flooring. In both scenes, the blood-soaked carpet and the laminated flooring needed immediate removal to introduce the subfloor for further remediation.
5.  All biohazard is placed into a “red bag” for transportation to the medical waste facility for proper disposal following O.S.H.A. Standards.
6.  Once all is remediated high, powered lights are used to see if there is any blood or residue left; the tiniest drops can be hidden from the naked eye...so high-intensity lighting will help illuminate any areas of concern.
7.  Once fully treated Bio-One of Orange will give the apartment community a remediation certificate so that the staff knows it is safe to enter.

There is a need to focus on the steps for suicide prevention. From 2000 to 2018, the suicide death rate (per 100,000) increased by 25% in Orange County; in the five years from 2014 to 2018, an average of 330 lives were lost each year, reaching an all-time high of 369 deaths in 2018.

Now in 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic, suicide rates have been on the rise. Suicide is a tragic event that shatters countless lives and it needs our attention. At Bio-One, we see suicide too often and want to spread awareness in an effort to change that rate.

According to Be Well Orange County, there are necessary steps to take to reduce and prevent suicides in our communities.  

Be Well OC's Goals are:

• Increase awareness about how to prevent suicide.
• Increase connectedness between individuals, families and communities.
• Increase detection of individuals in need.
• Increase access to mental health care.
• Reduce access to lethal means.

Be Well OC's 4 Steps to Prevent Suicide:

1. Reach out to high risk populations to find and engage those in need. 
2. Maintain contact with those in need and support continuity of care. 
3. Improve the lives of those in need through comprehensive services and supports. 
4. Build community awareness, reduce stigma and promote help-seeking.

We hope you can take the time to check on your neighbors if you don't see them out often and/or make sure your loved ones are seeking assistance by specialists with Mental Health issues. Every little thing we can do to support one another counts. 

If you or a loved one may be contemplating suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.
