THE
THREAT TO YOU !
When you
are in a public place, every person, object, and surface you touch
may be contaminated with potentially deadly microbes. When you return
home to your loved ones, you may be taking some of these deadly
microbes with you.
Center for
Disease Control (CDC) estimates 20% of users of public toilets fail
to wash their hands. Estimates in large cities are even greater.
Infectious
Disease is the Leading Cause of Death World Wide.
Greater
than 80% of Infectious Disease is Spread by the Hands.
Increased
Antimicrobial Resistance, poor sanitation and Hygiene are wreaking
havoc on the world community.
In the U.S.,
90,000 people die each year from hospital acquired (nosocomial)
infections (MRSA & VRE). These deadly microbes are now found outside
hospitals and in the general population. 25 years ago Staphylococcus
bacteria were resistant to antibiotics 2% of the time. Now "Staph"
is resistant to antibiotics >50% of the time.
Microbes
are mutating to resistant forms for every antibiotic developed.
(see antibiotic resistant microbes).
Air travel
has enabled infectious diseases to spread around the world in a
few hours
Infectious
disease poses a more deadly threat than war.
Government
resources are burdened with the cost of fighting the never ending
struggle against ever mutating and resistant pathogens. When a hospital
patient contracts a nosocomial infection it doubles the length of
the patients time in hospital. Judicious use of Antibiotics combined
with good sanitation and hygiene protocols practiced by clinicians
and the general public would dramatically reduce the burdens (economic
and human) associated with the treatment of infectious diseases.
