About 95% of homes in North Springfield were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb fluids deeply. The nearest emergency room, Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, is about 4 miles from North Springfield. In an emergency, call 911 first and let the cleanup wait.
Household gloves and a spray bottle do not meet the standard for infectious materials. Biohazard decontamination follows 29 CFR 1910.1030, which sets rules for protective equipment, handling and disposal when blood or other potentially infectious materials are present.
