All of that stuff was OK 30 years ago. Why. all of a sudden. do you need all of this specialty equipment?
More of the big Government directives.
30 years ago was the start of Aids and the HEP new strains taking a giant leap forward.
Today we know so much more about blood and body fluids of all sorts and their transmissions to others.
30 years ago we had no fear of food poisoning from eating a cantaloupe, 30 years ago we ate raw hamburger and raw eggs.
30 years ago we stopped the old sterilizing of baby bottles, we could trust the canned baby formulae, times change.
30 years ago when one bought raw produce we would just drop in in the cart, no or few places had those plastic bags to put the produce in.
Today if you spit on someone you can be charged with a criminal assult. Body fluids can be deadly to others.
Anyone have a granny that would spit on a hankie to wipe cookie crumbs or a dirt smudge off your face?? YUCK
For 80 years the Jehovah Witnesses warned about blood transfusions even to save their lives or the life of a child. Some parents of that faith were taken to court to force the parents to allow their children to receive life saving blood.
The removal of a dead ,ANYTHING, be it human or dead bird is now handled differently. To come in cold to a site where a body is found, gloves, face masks, booties on shoes, even for someone that had a heart attack in front of 40 people, the responders have to protect themselves FIRST.
The question of how something died is not known to the responders, the deceased may have Anthrax for all they know.
Knowledge of airborn infections are still up the air, TB, for instance. Even the hospitals have one heck of a time keeping patients from receiving a hospital infection.
Some states have a law that when a person buys a home the seller has the duty to inform the buyer of any and all deaths that occurred in the the home and the reason, be it suicide, or any illness or just old age be released to the buyer. Today that includes if the premises was used to make or grow drugs, or any police actions.
No one wants to take their children to live in a home that has a bad reputation before signing on the doted line.
Different world today, yes I believe there are millions of us alive today because of OSHA and health regulations imposed on first, middle and last responders.
We should demand more food inspectors, more inspectors on the docks to find infected cargo. And last but not least, Seldom if ever are the pallets used to transport food from state to state inspected or made of plastic and the trucks that move food have their trailers washed out between each drop off and pick up.
Tip, ----when you buy a new mattress check even if shrink wrapped that the deliver has no unwraped old mattereses anywhere in the truck near new ones. If you believe roaches are difficult to be rid of, talk to people that bought new furniture to find there are bed bugs hiding in the brand new item.
