H1 N1
The 2009 flu pandemic experienced in the United States was of a novel strain of the Influenza A/H1N1 virus, commonly referred to as 'swine flu', that began in the spring of 2009. The virus had spread to the US from an outbreak in Mexico. As of mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result, and 12,000 died. On October 24, 2009, President Barack Obama declared Swine Flu a national emergency in the United States.

SARS
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS; pronounced sarz) is a respiratory disease in humans which is caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). There has been one near pandemic to date, from November 2002 to July 2003, with 8,096 known infected cases and 774 deaths worldwide. Within a matter of weeks in early 2003, SARS spread from the Guangdong province of China to rapidly infect individuals in some 37 countries around the world.
As of May 2006, the spread of SARS has been fully contained, with the last infected human case seen in June 2003 . However, SARS is not claimed to have been eradicated, as it may still be present in its natural host reservoirs of animal populations, and may potentially return into the human population in the future. Be proactive by calling Aqua Pro Incorporated and sanitize your home or office. Call 302-659-6593 today.
MRSA
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or simply "Staph." MRSA is by definition any strain of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that is resistant to a large group of antibiotics which include the penicillins and the cephalosporins.
MRSA is especially troublesome in hospital-associated (nosocomial) infections. In hospitals, patients with open wounds, invasive devices, and weakened immune systems are at greater risk for infection than the general public. Hospital staff who do not follow proper sanitary procedures may transfer bacteria from patient to patient. Visitors to patients with MRSA infections or MRSA colonization are advised to follow hospital isolation protocol by using gloves, gowns, and masks when indicated. Visitors, including health care providers, who do not follow such protocols are capable of spreading the bacteria to areas such as cafeterias, bathrooms, elevators, or various other surfaces.
MRSA is often sub-categorized as community-acquired MRSA or health care-associated MRSA and kills about 18,000 Americans annually.
The best way to guard against these and many other bacteria, allergens, and molds is to make sure your living space and/or working space is sanitized regularly. Call Aqua Pro incorporated and set up a regular schedule of sanitizing to keep you and yours healthy! Call 302-659-6593 today!
