Let's cover 4 health hazards associated with feces and urine and how Bio-One can help you restore your home or business if this dangerous waste has impacted it.
You may not think about it often, but feces and urine can pose serious health risks. Fecal matter from humans and animals is dangerous and must be cleaned up properly. Here are four potential health hazards associated with feces and urine:
Feces and urine can contain harmful bacteria and viruses. These can cause various illnesses, including gastrointestinal infections, respiratory infections, skin infections, and even meningitis.
Feces and urine can cause skin irritation. This is because they can break down the skin’s natural barrier, which allows harmful bacteria and viruses to enter the body. One is contact dermatitis, a skin rash caused by contact with an irritant or allergen.
Feces and urine are known irritants and can cause a rash of contact dermatitis and scabies. Scabies is a skin infestation by a tiny mite that burrows into the skin to lay its eggs. The itching and irritation caused by scabies can be intense.
Some people are allergic to the proteins found in feces and urine. This can cause skin rashes, respiratory problems, and gastrointestinal distress.
Feces and urine can also contain harmful chemicals. These can include heavy metals, lead, mercury, and other toxins. exposure to these chemicals can cause several health problems, including kidney damage, liver damage, and cancer.
Ammonia components are derived from pet urine, which is a toxic gas. When pet urine dries, ammonia gas is released into the air. This can cause health problems, including respiratory irritation, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Prolonged exposure to ammonia gas can also cause lung damage.
If you come into contact with feces or urine, it is important to wash your hands immediately. If the substance has gotten on your clothing, remove the clothing and soak it in hot water. You should also avoid coming into contact with sewage systems or anything that may be contaminated with feces or urine. If you must clean up a mess yourself, always wear gloves and a mask.
