In Biohazard I take a very personal look at communicable diseases and the way they spread through communities. On average, preschool children catch 14 viruses a year, in our household that means one every 10-12 days. Any parent will know a virus means sleepless nights, croup and nocturnal visits to mum and dad's bed for cuddles.
In the middle ages, the doors of plague houses were marked with a red cross. I think it is appropriate for our home to have a biohazard symbol, warning visitors of possible infection and sleep deprived parents.
