The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
