holy crap dude.
Mantra for parents with young boys, " Don't bleed on the carpet go in the kitchen."
In cold climates when the furnace is first turned on the air becomes very dry, some people get nose bleeds until the humidifiers are in place.
Kitchen accidents with a small knife cutting veges, or cut shaving a beard in the bathroom.
Females of child baring age deal with the blood issue every 30 days, If there are 3 females in the home, mom and 2 teenage girls, then the odds are one of them will eventually have an accident.
Human blood is a fact of life for most of us, it can be dangerous to our health and very hard to remove from carpets, floors, clothing and mattress.
Even with no children and a male if you own a dog or cat you may have to eventually have to deal with a hurt pet.
These steam cleaners are especially good at cleaning up the accidents in life, I use peroxide with the steam just to make sure -----also have my Hep shots.
I wish these cleaners were made much smaller so I could take one when I stay a few days in a hotel. The bathrooms look immaculate, but are they ?
OK, this is something new, I know 20 years ago I would not have given it too much thought, today I wash off the tops of canned goods I buy, soak fresh vegetables before use, all clothing we buy that is not in-closed in a plastic bag I run the steamer over, the washer and drier gets a good blast of steam, all outside shoes and boots get a quick blast as does the floors and seats in my autos.
Will this actually keep me healthy.? Who knows but at least I know I have given it my best shot, Good old steam, the buggies cannot become immune to it as they do with some cleaners, and antibacterial soaps.
This all comes from having a family member having a tooth pulled and getting a dry socket, up shot was with in just 2 weeks they were diagnosed with Phemigus, a disease that was seldom seen in the last 1.500 years. From web sites I find this is emerging back into our world by leaps and bounds. Was it the dry socket that released the hidden and inactive disease or was it the fact that my family member had spent the summer in Florida rubbing shoulders with people from all over the world ?
I remember picking my baby's pacifier off the floor and putting it in my mouth to remove foreign bacteria. I remember eating raw eggs, raw hamburger, half cooked meats at BBQS and borrowing a friends comb, lipstick or eye makeup with no problem. I remember nursing and changing chucks of incontinent patients with NO gloves, getting blood tests by Techs wearing no gloves. Sure we washed our hands after the procedure but just one small opening in the skin from a fly should have made us very ill--- not.
We use to drink the water from cold springs with no problem. EMTS or the police never wore gloves, nor did the Doctor who examined me for my first pregnancy.
How did I get so paranoid I steam or wash everything that comes into my home????
