Sewage cleanup services play a critical role in protecting public health. Sewage, a byproduct of human activities, can contain a myriad of harmful contaminants that pose serious health risks.
## Health Risks and Symptoms of Sewage Exposure

* **Gastrointestinal Illnesses:** Bacteria and viruses in sewage can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
* **Skin Infections:** Contact with contaminated water or sewage can result in rashes, infections, and skin irritation.
* **Respiratory Problems:** Inhalation of airborne sewage odors can irritate the airways and trigger respiratory symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.
