Tim,
I have heard the formalin decontamination, plan before, but does this really
rid us of
contaminants, like afb (especially now with the multiple strain drug
resistance),or
the virus for Aids? Some literature suggests that the virus can be found in
dry smears years later? Shouldn't we be bleaching and using fomaldehyde in 2
steps of course. I don't want to freak out or cause a scare, but are we
really taking good care of ourselves and our technical staff? I am as
confused as the rest as to what is truly a good procedure.
Dana
