In recognition of National Police Week, May 9-15, Bio-One, Inc. will thank first responders by donating 5,000 first aid kits as part of their nationwide campaign #HelpFirst for First Responders. Throughout the week, Bio-One offices in 41 states will distribute the first aid kits, which include alcohol swabs, Advil, gloves, gauze pads, and an assortment of bandages. Since 1962, National Police Week has paid special recognition to law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
“As crime and trauma scene cleaners, Bio-One works closely with law enforcement across the country and National Police Week is a great opportunity to say thank you for their service and sacrifices,” said Nick-Anthony Zamucen, founder of Bio-One, Inc. “Our #HelpFirst campaign aligns with our motto, Help First, Business Second, and it is our hope that these kits will help officers and community members in the event of a minor medical emergency.”
“We are so thankful for Bio-One’s corporate partnership and their continued support of the Memorial Fund,” said Marcia Ferranto, CEO of the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund. “This partnership will further bolster the Memorial Fund’s mission of honoring America’s Law Enforcement and provide support for the Museum’s upcoming exhibition opening in September. We are grateful for their commitment.”
Established in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the fallen, telling the story of American law enforcement, and making it safer for those who serve. The Memorial Fund maintains the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., which honors the names of all of the 22,611 officers who have died in the line of duty throughout U.S. history.

Cleaning and removing a homeless encampment is a delicate operation that professionals should only do. Bio-One has assisted businesses, government agencies, and local law enforcement with the remediation of homeless encampments throughout Oceanside and North San Diego County, following the procedures that guarantee safety and complete hazard-free (biological, chemical, and physical) areas.
According to the ASU Center for Problem-Oriented Policing, Homeless Encampments can take many forms: “…tent cities; groups are living under freeway overpasses; and groups sleeping in parks, in skid rows (urban areas with concentrations of poverty and dilapidated buildings), in subway tunnels, on sidewalks, etc.”
Unfortunately, homeless Encampmets are often an environment where substance abuse is present. The main biohazard risk associated with this problem is hypodermic needles and other paraphernalia. The cleaning process should be followed by Professionals using adequate PPE and Training.
Substance abuse also includes the issue of Chronic Inebriation, regardless of the areas where a homeless encampment might be located. Chronic Inebriation can lead to crime and public disorder risk as these individuals become incapable of defending themselves.
Homeless Encampments are usually set in improvised areas without access to a bathroom or other physiological needs. Human Feces and Urine is a severe issue that comes with Homeless Encampment because some will turn to rivers for human disposal, leading to contamination in the water supply system of surrounding communities.
There are also several environmental hazards associated with Homeless Encampments. The absence of adequate living conditions creates a problem for the environment. Humans need food, water, and other basic resources just to stay alive. Batteries, fuels, and other hazardous materials are used for improvised cooking and heating. Also, propane tanks irresponsibly placed can lead to severe accidents in the perimeter.
Coupled with the fact that many homeless individuals might be struggling with mental conditions (and they most likely won’t have the means to cover treatment or regular checkups) Homeless Encampments can be the center of accumulation of junk and trash.
Depending on these encampments’ locations, debris and filth can be piled up more easily. Our Team of Professionals at Bio-One of Oceanside is qualified to clear out homeless encampments and remediate areas of public use.
The improvised and, sometimes, rudimentary conditions in which Homeless Encampments come about make the perfect scenario for wild animals and other pests infestations to take over these locations and, subsequently, the surrounding properties, businesses, and Communities.
This has been a problem for Property Owners in the areas near Homeless Encampments. Pest infestation (rodents, roaches, fleas) are just a few of the consequences associated with the proliferation of unpremeditated and even short-term Homeless Encampments.
If you’re a Property Manager, City, or County Official in need of a homeless encampment cleanup in your community, let our team of specialists at Bio-One of Oceanside help you. It’s important to follow strict guidelines and protocols to remediate these areas successfully.

El cielo azul radiante, el florecimiento de la fauna, el entusiasta cantar de los pájaros y, por supuesto… ¡el cambio de temperatura! Estos son los elementos más importantes que nos dan la bienvenida a la Temporada de Primavera, y con ello debe venir una limpieza de verano profunda.
Renovar la casa haciendo una profunda limpieza de primavera es una tradición que las familias americanas han seguido desde hace algunos años ya. Es una ardua pero armoniosa labor que nos permite preparar nuestro hogar para la nueva temporada. Es la perfecta ocasión para guardar los adornos y elementos navideños, tiempo para guardar los sacos y vestimenta de invierno. ¡Hora de salir al patio y preparar el área de Grill para divertirnos afuera!
Ahora, no es menos cierto que la limpieza de primavera es una tarea que puede resultar abrumadora y desafiante para muchas personas. No todo el mundo asocia la fecha con este tipo de actividades. Nuestro Equipo de Profesionales en Bio-One comparte 4 recomendaciones para limpiar y renovar tu hogar. Basamos nuestras recomendaciones en los lineamientos presentados por la CDC sobre el proceso para remediar estos espacios.
De entrada, debes saber que uno de los problemas más comunes que enfrentan las viviendas por el cambio climático y de temporada, es el moho. También, solemos enfrentar infestaciones por roedores y otros animales que buscan refugio en los lugares más recónditos de nuestra vivienda.
Los roedores son portadores de enfermedades muy peligrosas. Desde Salmonella a Fiebre Hemorrágica, estos animales pueden convertirse en plagas cuyo proceso de remediación debe ser atendido con el protocolo más delicado posible. Algunas recomendaciones para mantener tu área de cocina y parrilla libre de orina y heces de roedores (y otras plagas) son:
En caso de que tu hogar esté infestado por roedores o cualquier otro tipo de plagas, permite que nuestro Equipo de Profesionales de Bio-One desinfecte y descontamine tu propiedad. La orina y excremento de roedores es portador de muchas enfermedades… ¡Incluso estando seco y expuesto por mucho tiempo!
Aunque resulte difícil de creer, el moho es causante de muchas enfermedades en los humanos. Los dolores de cabeza, diarrea y síntomas asociados a la gripe están asociados directamente al moho y otra amplia variedad de hongos. Basado en lineamientos de la CDC, presentamos algunas recomendaciones para tratar y eliminar la presencia de moho en tu casa:
Con la ayuda de profesionales en la materia, puedes proteger tu propiedad del moho, especialmente en una limpieza de verano. Es importante mencionar que, una vez que un área ha sido infectada por moho, el único remedio efectivo es remover y reemplazar. Aplica para alfombrado, piso, cerámica, drywall o revestimiento.
Bio-One cuenta con los equipos necesarios para remediar tu hogar o propiedad de moho y sus potenciales consecuencias para la salud. Nos aseguramos de descartar o conservar cualquier artículo, evaluando si está irremediablemente dañado.
Nuestras mascotas son una parte innegable de la familia. Nos acompañan en los momentos más difíciles y se merecen todo el reconocimiento y amor que mostramos hacia ellos. Es por ello que, mantener sus áreas higienizadas, es parte del cariño y cuidado que debemos tener para con ellos. CDC compartió algunas recomendaciones para hogares con perros, gatos y otras mascotas domésticas. Se resumen en lo siguiente:
Bio-One ha asistido a muchas personas que se han visto abrumadas por la suciedad ocasionada por orina y heces de mascotas, no solamente durante una limpieza de verano, sino en situaciones de emergencia. Estos espacios representan un riesgo biológico para las familias involucradas.
El propósito de la limpieza de primavera es organizar tus pertenencias y deshacerte de basura y cosas que ya no son necesarias en tu vida. Es una oportunidad para involucrar a la familia, para enseñar a los más pequeños la importancia de una vida organizada. Algunos elementos a tener en cuenta al momento de limpiar:
Bio-One ha ayudado a muchos clientes en momentos difíciles, momentos en los que sus vidas requieren un cambio drástico. Nuestro lema “¡Ayuda Primero, Negocios Después!” es un fiel testamento del compromiso en asistir en los momentos de mayor necesidad.

Flowers blooming, bright blue skies, the enthusiastic sound of birds singing, and the temperature rising! These are just some of the changes that introduce us to the spring season. Along with that, there should be a proper spring cleaning!
Renovating your house by doing a thorough cleaning has been a yearly tradition for many families now. It’s about preparing your home for this season. It’s the perfect time to put away winter coats, clothing, and bedding. Time to clean up the grill area and get ready for some joyful time outside!
However, spring cleaning can be challenging and overwhelming for some people. Here at Bio-One, we’re sharing four tips for renovating your home during spring cleaning. We are following the guidelines from CDC on how to remediate these areas successfully.
With the season change, mold is one of the many issues we usually encounter while cleaning our homes. Also, rodent droppings are a common issue because of the cold weather we’re coming out from! These two issues, in particular, might result in serious health problems for you and your loved ones. Our team of professionals is ready to help you remediate them as efficiently and as safely as possible.
Rodents are carriers of many dangerous diseases. From Salmonellosis to Hemorrhagic Fever, rodents can infest your home, and the remediation process should be approached with the most delicate protocols. Here are some recommendations to keep your kitchen and grill area free from rodent droppings and urine. When cleaning these areas:
If you are facing a rodent droppings infestation during the spring cleaning, let Bio-One properly disinfect and decontaminate your house! Even after dry and longstanding, rodent droppings can carry bacteria and parasites that would result in diseases like leptospirosis. We use professional PPE (Protective Personal Equipment) and EPA-Listed chemicals safe for your family, children, and pets.
As hard as it might seem to believe, mold infections are related to many diseases in humans. Headaches, diarrhea, and flu-like pathologies are caused directly by black mold and other fungi. Based on CDC Guidelines, here are some recommendations to treat and mitigate the presence of mold inside your House:
It’s important to mention that once an item is infected with mold, the only way to correct the damage is by removal and replacement. This applies to any part of your house: carpet, flooring, ceiling tiles, drywall, or wallboard.
Bio-One is the best option to remediate and disinfect your home from mold damage properly. Our Team of Specialists is prepared to contain any area infected with mold, discarding any item that might be irretrievably damaged by it.
Pets are an undeniable part of the family. They get us through difficult times and deserve the recognition and love we feel toward them. That’s why practicing good hygiene is part of loving and caring for our pets. CDC shared some recommendations for households with dogs, cats, and other domestic pets. These resume in the following:
Bio-One has assisted many people in cases where animal feces/urine has become a threat and represents a bio-hazardous element for the household involved. Disinfecting and disinfecting a house that has been contaminated by animal feces/urine requires professional assistance. Bio-One specializes in decontaminating areas infected by these wastes, ensuring the place is safe and habitable again.
The whole idea of Spring cleaning is to organize your belongings and get rid of clutter. It’s a good opportunity to get everyone in the family together and involved in the process of organizing the house. Here are some elements to consider when you start cleaning and decluttering your house:

There is a difference between being “messy,” “disorganized,” and being a hoarder. For some people, keeping spaces in order can be challenging for their lifestyle and habits. Maybe work and other obligations come into place, and sometimes, the expectation of living in a completely organized space seems a bit too far from reality. Experts agree that the person might face a hoarding disorder once safety and integrity are compromised in these areas.
Many people can accumulate things for many reasons, but these things don’t stop people from getting through the daily activities one should be able to perform in a house or living space.
Now, there is a line that, if crossed, it’s a sign that someone might be experiencing a hoarding situation. When the accumulation of items or the disorganization in the living space is so critical that it interferes with the ability of the person to function around it, there’s a problem.
A person struggling with Hoarding Disorder can’t seem to get rid of items that don’t have a crucial part in their lives. It’s more of an “emotional” feeling that is attached to these possessions. Cleveland Clinic listed the most common symptoms of a hoarding disorder, which resume in the following:
While there isn’t a specific reason that triggers a Hoarding Disorder, many doctors and specialists have identified the most common events that can be associated with this condition:
A person struggling with a Hoarding Disorder usually feels shame and embarrassment. The reality of being unable to function due to their own “created” chaos can be difficult, and they will most likely avoid asking for help.
The diagnosis from a specialist or a mental health professional might be the first and most important step to getting life back on track. Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most common treatment for a Hoarding disorder.
CBT is a type of talk therapy that helps patients suffering from a Hoarding Disorder gain a new perspective on what certain objects mean to their lives. It also helps treat other mental conditions like Depression and Anxiety because it allows patients to recognize the meaning of their thoughts and emotions. The ultimate goal is to channel them into a positive outlook.
If you feel that your life is out of control and some of the symptoms we described resonate with your reality, know that you are not alone. Let Bio-One help you. Our team of specialists at Bio-One of Oceanside can get a living space clean and decontaminated with the compassion and understanding that a challenging situation like hoarding deserves.

No one is truly prepared for death. Even if death represents relief to someone who is suffering from an illness, the thought and feeling of emptiness that comes with the reality of not having the presence of that person around anymore isn’t near close to imaginable. Coping with the death of someone you care about is difficult, and the grief and loss process is challenging, especially if the person who died is close to your family core.
Grief is presented to us as an emotion triggered by the loss of something or someone dear to us. Grieving is not necessarily linked to the loss of a human being; it may be related to the loss of a job, a pet, or a material asset. One thing is certain: the feeling of grief becomes much more palpable when the loss of a loved one, family member, or friend occurs, especially if their death takes place in violent and unexpected circumstances, such as suicides or accidents.
In these cases, dealing with grief is much more difficult because we refuse to accept that someone loses their life like this. We enter a stage of denial, which could make it unbearable not to have that dear person among us. These events are traumatic, and it’s recommended that mourners receive special attention from specialists.
There is no “right” way of grieving the sudden loss of someone you love. You will face a rollercoaster of emotions: there will be good days and very bad days. Just the thought of living without that special person is hard enough.
Now, it’s important to allow yourself to feel these emotions during grief and loss: do whatever you need to do to express and vent your feelings. Specialists found that sometimes, talking about the events that happened help, at least, “accepting” the reality, even though you might never understand why it happened. Some things are just beyond our understanding. Don’t feel bad for turning to a friend or family for comfort. It’s in difficult times when you truly see who is close to you, and that’s what family and friends are for.
In addition to the specialized care that mourners must receive after an event as traumatic as suicide or crime of any kind, it is also important to count on compassionate people, professionals who support you and help you makes this tragedy just a little more bearable. Your health and well-being are our priority for us at Bio-One of Oceanside. Our team is discrete and compassionate, especially in challenging scenarios.
After a traumatic experience, it’s completely normal to feel scared and uncertain about the future. When you lose someone with whom you shared projects and aspirations, it can be difficult to accept the reality of their absence and move on without them.
Suddenly, your world, the one you used to feel safest at, is an uncertain place to even think about being part of. Know this: the feeling of fear is normal after a traumatic experience. It’s important to identify the most common symptoms that are related to the fear of the future: headaches, back pain, feelings of panic, and anxiety.
You can’t expect to go back to the world where you used to feel secure. For all you know, that’s the place where disaster and tragedy struck. That said, you can feel confident about one thing: the world was the same as it is now. You didn’t know it yet. Now, you are more mature and understand that even though times can be extremely difficult, you can live in it, relying on the people who love and care for you.
If you ever feel overwhelmed by grief and loss, exhausted, and can’t bear to be in this new reality that life has put you through, don’t feel ashamed to turn to a mental health professional. Humans are full of complex emotions; sometimes, you must turn to someone who helps us understand everything better.
If you are religious, hold as tight as you can to your beliefs, talk to your pastor or priest… talk to anyone who can provide you with comforting words of wisdom. As we mentioned before, some things are just beyond our understanding, but it’s always important to know that we can find peace in our faith, regardless of our religion. It’s what ultimately will provide us with the strength to carry on, to be… somewhat prepared for the unexpected.
Facing life after experiencing a traumatic event is not easy. The truth is, you have to learn how to live despite the absence of your loved one, and it’s an everyday process. Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded in 1985. TIP of San Diego shared a Resource Guide on Helping Citizens in Crisis.
Our Team at Bio-One of Oceanside understands the challenges of facing a traumatic experience. Our main goal is to genuinely support you and your loved ones during these difficult times. In coping with a family member's death due to a traumatic experience, our team is specialized in leaving the place where violent events occurred, free of all evidence of a struggle and disturbance.
Our Team at Bio-One of Oceanside is prepared to face these situations and show solidarity with you. We understand your painful situation, and we are willing to collaborate to make the process of traumatic events a little more bearable.
If you are facing a difficult situation, trust us, and let us help you. Bio-One specializes in all types of cleaning: traumatic death, homicide, suicide, and more.

Es muy probable que hayas oído sobre el moho y humedad pero ¿sabes cómo se ve en tu propiedad? El moho puede crecer tanto en los ambientes externos como internos, el incluso puede proliferar en casi cualquier tipo de superficie… ¡incluso en el vidrio! Cualquier superficie que se te ocurra, es un lugar propenso a sufrir por moho y sus graves consecuencias.
Debes saber que identificar el moho en espacios donde habitan seres humanos puede ser un poco más complicado. Es posible que tu propiedad esté infectada con moho y tú ni siquiera estás al tanto de ello. No lo notarás a menos que veas esas manchas negras, anillos negros, decoloración y otras características que estaremos describiendo.
Cualquier lugar en presencia de humedad, es un lugar donde el moho crecerá. Las esporas de moho tienen muchas apariencias: pueden ir desde pequeños puntos o decoloración en la superficie donde crece, hasta grandes manchas, usualmente de color negro (aunque puede tener varias tonalidades). Recuerda siempre recurrir a un profesional en el saneamiento y desinfección de moho.
Házte la sigueinte pregunta: ¿Estaré utilizando demasiado ambientador o velas aromáticas últimamente? Si la respuesta es afirmativa, es probable que el área esté infectada de moho y humedad. El olor del moho suele ser rancio… similar al olor de ropa guardada humedecida.
Algunos tipos de moho producen unos compuestos específicos conocidos como “micotoxinas”, un grupo de subproductos metabólicos ocasionados, a su vez, por el crecimiento de moho en ambientes húmedos o en constante presencia de agua.
Muchas personas sufren de alergias, eso es un hecho y, honestamente, es bastante complicado soportar estos padeceres como para también exponerse a otras patologías más graves del sistema respiratorio.
El asma y el moho son una terrible combinación para la salud de los menores en el hogar. Un estudio conducido por los Anales de Alergia, Asma e Inmunología (originalmente en inglés: Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology) encontró que cuando un neonato o bebé, menor de un año de edad, es expuesto al moho, muy probable sufrirá de asma para cuando tenga aproximadamente siete años de edad o más.
La presencia de moho y humedad dentro del hogar pueden ser causante de muchas enfermedades e infecciones. Por ejemplo, una característica del “moho negro” es que puede desarrolar en los seres humanos una enfermedad llamada Síndrome de Respuesta Inflamatoria Sistémica o SIRS (CIRS, por sus siglas en Inglés). Esta enfermedad es conocida popularmente como “la enfermedad del moho”.
En el ambiente de salud e industrias, se reconoce generalmente que la predominancia de moho tóxico es la principal causa de quejas y reclamos, sobre todo cuando en estos ambientes hay daño causado por agua. De acuerdo al sitio web BioTerra (información en inglés) hay seis tipos de moho que pueden estar al acecho en espacios de interior:
Si tu hogar o negocio necesita una desinfección de moho y humedad, permite a Bio-One ayudarte.
Viéndolo desde un punto de vista estructural, el moho y humedad pueden causar graves daños a tu casa o propiedad. Si algo caracteriza al moho, es su impresionante capacidad de digerir el material sobre el cual crece y disemina. Es importante considerar reparar cualquier daño ocasionado por moho tan pronto como sea posible.

Helping seniors is a rewarding job, but it also implies responsibility and proper education on the matter. Many seniors enjoy spending their peaceful time in the house they’ve always lived in. However, their time in that space can be compromised when certain health conditions interfere.
Living with a senior can be overwhelming if there’s no attention to specific details that might affect their well-being. Whether you turn to an Aging Life Care Professional or, by any circumstance, you are the only person who can take care of a senior. We share four tips for helping seniors and creating a safer environment for them.
These recommendations will help you and your loved one have a safe living environment, considering the physical and mental health of the people involved.
Falls are the most common cause of injuries for seniors. Many elderly patients have the blessing of reaching a certain age while enjoying a healthy mental condition. Sometimes, however, the physical condition is not at the same level, and it’s important to fix everything you can to maintain the physical condition as optimum as possible.
The kitchen area might be dangerous if there isn’t proper safety. Our best recommendation for helping seniors is to keep the elderly away from the kitchen. However, we understand the difficulties of telling grandma that she can no longer cook something special for the grandchildren when they visit.
Now, whether the senior lives alone or your loved one can’t stay away from the kitchen, we recommend the following:
Many elderly patients most of their time in the bedroom, sleeping and resting. The best thing you can do is create an environment that allows them to move comfortably around the space.
Inevitable modifications need to be made when living with a senior. One of them is distributing the house to fit their needs best. The ultimate goal is to avoid falls and accidents. Here are our recommendations for helping seniors with this issue:
In some cases, seniors prefer to live alone, and if their mental and physical condition is not too deteriorated, they will most likely continue to do it. It’s also possible that no one can stay with them 24/7. What can you do when someone you love is reluctant to have a person assist them daily or live in a community space, like a Homecare Facility?
If you’re looking for an Assisted Living Facility in the Oceanside/North San Diego area, we can recommend Oceanside Hills Senior Living, Pacifica Senior Living Oceanside, Las Villas de Carlsbad, and Brookdale Oceanside. All of these facilities are members of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce.
Bio-One provides effective care on services like cleanup and disinfection, hoarding cleanup, medical waste disposal, rodent droppings, feces/urine cleanup, gross filth cleaning, and more. We are prepared to take on any situation, no matter how extreme it might be! We have experience helping seniors and customers in their most difficult times of need.

Here are four signs your home or business might face a mold infestation Mold can cause various symptoms that can put your life at risk if not treated and attacked professionally.
Broken pipes, flooding, and overall, any place where water might have been present represents a suitable space for mold to grow, also during fall and wintertime, when humidity levels are higher. Mold can grow in indoor and outdoor environments. It can grow on almost every surface you can think of: fabric, paper, wood, plastic… even glass! If you think of any surface of your home or building, that is a place where mold can grow and cause damage.
Now, you’ve probably heard of or seen mold in food. It’s the greatest reference to identify the fact that it is decomposing. Take, for instance: a piece of bread. After a few days out of the fridge or kitchen cabinet, you can see those green and yellow spots. Easily visible and detectable, you are certain that you cannot eat that bread.
Mold in houses and other living spaces is more difficult to detect. You probably won’t know that you have a mold infection unless you see spots, black rings, or discoloration around the surface affected.
Mold spores can grow in spaces where water has been around. Water damage and mold usually go together, and they can cause severe structural damage to buildings. Any place in the presence of moisture is a place where mold can grow.
Mold stains can have many appearances, going from small dots or discoloration on the surface where they’re growing to medium and large spots and black rings in various colors. You should always turn to a professional when it comes to mold detection. Bio-One specializes in mold infestation cleanup, using top-quality and safety equipment to ensure a disinfected area for you and your loved ones.
If you have been using a lot of air fresheners or scent candles recently, your house or the business property might face a mold infection. It’s usually a musty smell… like a smelly pair of wet socks or clothing.
The growth and dissemination of fungi in water-damaged buildings result in the production of certain toxins that may be responsible for many negative health effects on human beings. Certain mold species can produce a class of compounds known as mycotoxins. It’s a group of metabolic byproducts produced by several types of mold growing in organic and humid, damp environments.
While several factors influence mold growth and dissemination (moisture, lighting, and temperature) of mold, it’s clear that being in the presence of these environments can result in several adverse health effects, such as chronic coughing, immune deficiency, and other pathologies.
If you feel better outside the property, you spend the most time on (home, work, other places) and tend to feel sick while at it, you have to evaluate the possibility of having a mold infestation.
Many people suffer from allergies, and it’s difficult enough to endure it while also suffering from other pathologies related to the respiratory system.
Asthma and mold are a terrible combination for the health of minors. A study conducted by the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology found that when a newborn (less than a year old) is exposed to mold, chances are likely that the child will suffer from asthma by the time he or she is seven years old and forward.
Mold can irritate the eyes and develop eye infections like keratitis and conjunctivitis. If you have never suffered from allergies or asthma before, it’s another reason to search for mold in your property and have a specialized team like Bio-One remediate it!
The presence of mold inside your property can lead to many illnesses and infections. For example, black mold can create a disease in humans called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, also called CIRS, and very popularly known as “mold illness”. It’s difficult to diagnose because you wouldn’t think of a mold infection being related to your health, but it is!
Also, noticing weird rashes on your skin is usually a sign of a mold infestation. Please avoid scratching at all costs! Exposing skin increases the risk of getting more infections. Bio-One uses the best equipment to treat areas infested with mold, guaranteeing a safe environment.
It has been generally recognized in environmental health and industrial hygiene fields that the predominance of toxigenic mold in water-damaged buildings is consistently associated with occupant health complaints. According to BioTerra, six types of toxic mold can lurk in indoor spaces:
Don’t hesitate to visit your doctor if you feel any of the symptoms we’ve listed above. If your house or business needs mold disinfection, let Bio-One take care of you. We offer top-quality mold disinfection services. We will evaluate the level of contamination and provide you with the best solution for you and your loved ones.
From a structural standpoint, mold can cause severe damage to your house or business property. Something that characterizes mold is the fact that it can digest the material it’s growing on, so it’s important to consider fixing any mold infection as soon as you notice it. From a health standpoint, it’s about preserving your life and the lives of the people around you.

If you haven’t heard about hoarding symptoms and how it can affect you, your house, or your family, we will shed light on this topic since it’s been more recurring these past decades, especially this last year.
The new year represents an opportunity to start over! It certainly wasn’t an easy year, but we’re sure the difficulties we’ve endured through 2020 will become a joy for this year. Many of us have probably spent more time in our homes… more than what we would have planned, at least!
The truth is… we have come a long way. Understandably, you might have gotten yourself full of things you thought you would need, given the circumstances and the uncertain times we went through in 2020.
You might not be aware of it, but accumulated clothing, bags, newspapers, and junk tend to come from pathologies and illnesses like anxiety, depression, and social disability. Most of these pathologies, however, are related to hoarding disorder.
We’re hoping to be someone you can trust if you feel related to what we’re describing at all.
A hoarder is a person that accumulates excessive amounts of junk, groceries, newspapers, bags of old clothing, and, overall, elements that don’t necessarily have a reason to be there or have any use whatsoever.
For hoarders, these elements have a strong value, not only emotionally but also physically, economically, and sometimes even legally. They think that keeping all items possible would spare the distress that drifts from parting with them, which results in the problem of accumulating items.
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America listed the common symptoms of someone who hoards:
