Air Conditioners are Killing People

When air conditioners are not cleaned thoroughly, they are a breeding ground for many diseases and irritants.

Breathing problems, Fatigue, Headaches, Skin Irritations, Asthma Attacks, Sinus Irritation, Nausea and Reduced Immunity are a few of the common symptoms that can be caused by a build-up of bacteria, fungi and toxins in your air conditioner.

Mould, Fungi, Dust, Grease, Pollen, Human Skin Cells, Animal Excrement and Dead Animals such as mice, rats, lizards, (especially geckos), and even snakes have often been found inside air conditioning units.

Air Conditioners often contain Mould and Bacteria

Rodent excrement and urine has been proven to carry many diseases that become airborne including Leptospirosis, which can cause severe internal bleeding and even death.

Black Mould is one of the most highly recognised toxic moulds and is extremely dangerous to humans, having been responsible for many deaths. Common symptoms are respiratory problems, asthma attacks, irritation of the mucous membranes, skin inflammation, tiredness, nausea, immune system suppression, mental impairment and can cause damage to the internal organs.

Extrinsic allergic alveolitis is a serious hypersensitive response, usually associated with repeated exposure to airborne spores in the work environment.

Regular maintenance, checking and cleaning is the best way to avoid spreading illnesses. This will ensure that contaminants and disease-causing agents such as mould and micro-organisms do not get the chance to build up to dangerous levels. It is recommended that air conditioning systems and heat pumps be professionally checked, cleaned and serviced at least once a year.

Cleaning Filters is NOT enough. Only a thorough sanitization of the entire internals of the air con will safe guard you.
