Vomiting, puking, or throwing up, is an aggressive oral release of stomach contents, which can be a bio hazard. Once the vomit has been discharged, it can contain many viruses and or bacteria that can make others sick or potentially die. This bodily fluid can be hazardous for you and your family. Vomit requires a bio remediation specialist to get rid of for this very reason, and to keep you from getting in contact with certain deadly bacteria that has now been released into your vehicle.
In general, vomit is considered to be a biohazard. It is the bodily ejection of stomach matter as a result of bacteria from an illness or external influences (e.g. motion sickness). It is especially a problem when blood is found in it.
Bloody vomit can be caused by a number of reasons, including serious gastrointestinal problems. Even if blood is not visibly noticeable, vomit itself can carry a number of potential diseases within it.
Even if the vomit came from someone you know well, you (or even they) may be unaware of potential diseases they may carry. One in 24 people carry HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C, it’s important to make sure you and your family are safe.
