Employers are responsible for ensuring that workers wash their hands and any other exposed skin with soap and water or flush their mucous membranes with water as soon as is practical after coming into contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.

humans developed antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. however, some antibiotics are no longer effective in killing the bac
andrezito [222]
After a certain period of time, diseases and other sicknesses evolve along with humans, making the antibiotics nearly or completely ineffective. For example, if you took one tylenol when you have a cold, it may not be as effective the next day or so and would need to double the dose. Obviously it will all depend on the illness, and what stage it is in, and the strength of the medication. Also, at one point a vaccine for rabies might need an advanced formula because it might have evolved in animals. The possibilities are endless.
