Thanks for emphasizing that biohazards can be harmful to your health as well as the health of those you care about. This is so helpful because our neighbor’s been disposing so much chemical in their bin and we’ve been so worried about its health implication. I’ll encourage them to hire a bio hazard cleaning service for this.

I guess those kinds of companies would probably partner up with the authorities to make it easier for the police to get the crime scene cleared once they are done investigating. And I hope that they would also be available for the common people in case there are accidents that caused an area to have blood splattered everywhere.
