Help Keep Our Firefighters Healthy
Our Firefighters are exposed to dangers everyday, many of them deadly. However many of these dangers are out of their control. MRSA is another danger that has invaded their firehouses, now there is a technology that was developed for the U.S. Defense Dept., to neutralize a buildings contaminated with Anthrax. This technology is NOW available to give our firefighters the piece of mind that the surfaces they clean up in, cook in, sleep and sit on are MRSA free.
As a physician with an understanding of infectious disease and considering the jump from hospital acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) to community acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) it makes sense for the fire departments around the globe to potentially have concerns over MRSA and other potentially deadly pathogens invading their own fire station. The close sleeping quarters, showers and group lounges are perfect environments for MRSA to flourish in and may live up to 9 months on surfaces.
