The summer months are a great break from winter's chill, but pose an unpleasant occurance on a crime and trauma scene. As the heat rises, smells and odors intensify. Bacteria likes warm, wet places and traps odors into the air particles. This is why your gym clothes or car may seem more intensified during the warmer months.
In the crime and trauma industry, bodily fluids and decomposition make for a rude combination with the heat. Hoarding situations are also a pungent situation as many times, there are animal feces or bacterial growth from the buildup in the home. If you have the unfortunate experience of either of these situations, we recommend you call professional help right away. Not only is bacterial growth smelly, it's dangerous! Bio-One is here to help 24/7.

Although you can't always tell if someone is suicidal, there maybe some signs you can learn to recognize especially if you notice more than one.
Warning Signs
If you or someone you know display one or more of these warning signs, take the time to talk and evaluate. It's worth it. If it's an emergency, call the National Suicide Hotline 1-800-273-8255
When a suicide occurs, it affects more than just the family. While the family is feeling it the most, a suicide can actually trickle out to the entire community.
Friends and loved ones are hit hard. Co-workers, caregivers and teachers can be in the next level of those affected. Some people may not have had the same amount of interaction, but these people may feel a sadness or loss that is stronger than we might expect. The truth is, when someone is lost through suicide, it creates a wave that has a far and powerful reach among the community.
You may not always be able to know who is suicidal, but you can be kind and know that everyone is fighting battles you can't see.
If you or someone you know might need a support group, please find the link below that best suits your needs.
