1
Dust Mites
Related to spiders scorpions, these microscopic
insects contaminant your home and lead to
Allergies , Asthma Respiratory ailments. 80 of
household dust is made up of Dust Mites. They
breed and live in fabrics- especially mattresses.
Their feces contain GUANINE which inhibits lung
cell reproduction function.
2
Fleas
Fleas feed on blood and propagate attaching
themselves to hosts- humans and pets.
3
Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs are prevalent insects on mattresses and
eggs are carried on clothing fabrics. Their
bites cause infections and disease.
4
Lice
Head lice is most common and eggs and insects are
hard to remediate. They move from host to host
and are not a reflection of poor hygiene.
5
Allergens
Allergens are made up of many contaminants but
impregnate themselves on fabrics, surfaces in
the air in your home.
6
Pollen
There are many types of pollens. Sensitivity is
based on the individual. Over time, many
individuals inherit a sensitivity to pollens
which leads to congestion, (sinus infections)
Rhinitis and a weakened immune system.
7
Mold
Individuals can be mildly sensitive to mold or it
can cause severe contraindications. Black Mold
is the most severe causing lung conditions,
sickness and even death.
8
Mildew
Mildew is a bacteria and can cause a host of
illnesses and phantom conditions.
9
Spores
Spores are similar to pollens and airborne
contaminants which impregnate themselves on
fabrics surfaces in your indoor environment.
10
Fungus
Fungus is a bacteria that propagates under
specific conditions. The chemical make-up and
spores from fungi can cause weakened immune
systems and random illness.
11
Flu Virus
Flu viruses are evolving and can adapt to
resistance. Some cause minor discomfort while
others can challenge the immune system and lead
to chronic conditions or even death. Children
and the elderly are most susceptible to serious
risks.
12
Avian Bird Flu Virus
This has the greatest potential of becoming a
pandemic. Transference to humans has been a
worldwide concern with many deaths attributed to
this virus.
13
MRSA or (Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus
aureus)
Antibiotic resistant infection which can lead to
pneumonia and death. Those with weakened immune
systems are most susceptible.
14
Hepatitis
Hepatitis A-E affect the liver. Many are
treatable while Hepatitis-C is incurable and
affects organs the immune system and leads to
death.
15
Polio Virus
Polio can be Abortive (flu-like symptoms),
Non-Paralytic (sensitivity to light
neck stiffness) or Paralytic (muscular
paralysis). The latter can lead to death while
the others are treatable.
16
Anthrax
Anthrax is a bacterial spore resistant to
antibiotics and can lead to death. It is
found globally and can be contracted on surface
cuts, inhalation intestinally.
17
Bacteria
There are good and bad bacteria. The good
bacteria are necessary for our daily functions.
The bad bacteria challenge our immune systems
and lead to many symptoms and diseases.
18
Clostridium Difficile
This bacteria causes Colitis and Diarrhea in
infants and those susceptible to immune
weakness. It is typically transmitted through
human waste.
19
E. Coli
A bacterial infection that is accompanied by high
fever and can lead to blood and kidney infections
leading chronic illness or death.
20
Legionella
This is the famous Legionnaires Disease as a
resistant bacteria causing pneumonia and can lead
to debilitating illness and death.
21
Salmonella
There are many forms of the Salmonella bacteria.
Many can be mildly discomforting while others, in
the elderly and immune challenged, can lead to
chronic conditions or even death.
22
SARS- Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
SARS causes pneumonia respiratory illness which
causes high fevers and is highly contagious.
23
Staph Bacterias
