Professionals discovered that these actions were leading to something bigger than expected. Significant disease spread, all the while leading to viruses and outbreaks that could’ve very easily gotten out of hand. Any human coming in contact with these biohazardous wastes can be at risk of blood-borne infection. Examples seem to guide the conversation.
