The
sudden appearance of the foreign proteins was the molecular equivalent
of the Black Plague.
Entering the bloodstream, the [pathogen] coursed out into Cedric's body.
No cell was immune. . .
Cedric Harring was about to disintegrate . . .
(excerpt from Mortal Fear by Robin Cook)
While most of us will never be exposed to the kind of dangers Robin Cook dreams up in his mystery novels, we do interact in ways each day that can expose us to a real-life bit of mystery -- the threat of bloodborne pathogens.
To keep you safe from the dangers associated with bloodborne diseases, Belton ISD offers this course. As you study the information in this course, you learn ways to protect yourself from bloodborne diseases and work in a clean healthy environment.
