Abstract Hoarding may seem a minor problem, yet it leads to deplorable consequences for both the hoarder and the people that live in the vicinity. Although Roy, the man, who considers himself an inventor, and Loretta, a mother of a young daughter, may seem lacking similarity, their cases of hoarding are quite similar to each other. Both expose themselves to a range of threats and deny having a problem. Major chemical, physical and microbial hazards that they face can be eliminated by taking elaborate steps in intervention and the removal of the objects hoarded. Potential Microbial Diseases The threats that Roy is exposed to due to his metal junk hoarding issue include Tetanus, Hantavirus, Bubonic plague, Salmonellosis and Rat-Bite Fever. Seeing that Roy is surrounded by metal in his yard, getting cut is a viable threat for him. Rusty metal, in its turn, hosts C.Tetani bacteria, which, when being introduced to a human body through cuts, trigger a rapid development of tetanus (Yue & Shifferli, 2014). Moreover, the fact that Roy leaves a variety of trash in the junkyard, where he hoards metal, means that the junkyard may become a shelter for a variety of rodents, including rats. The latter, in their turn, may spawn the development of Hantavirus, Bubonic plague, Salmonellosis and Rat-Bite Fever (Potter, 2007). According to the existing evidence, rats are traditionally considered the transmitters of the above-mentioned diseases. Even though Bubonic Fever is considered to have been vanquished, it may still be spawned by the viruses carried by rats. In Loretta’s case, the threats of potential microbial diseases are nonetheless severe. First and most obvious, collecting clothes and cardboard bags is most likely to lead eventually to increases in dampness levels in the room and, as a result, the appearance of fungi. The latter, in its turn, will become the breeding ground for hyphae, which, in its turn, will lead to the development of fungi and mold. As a result, Loretta and her child may develop major breathing issues after inhaling the spores disseminated by the fungi (Soler & Schlosser, 2012). Microbial Hazard Elimination In order to address the specified problem, Loretta will need to not only remove the items that clutter her house from the room, but also sanitize the latter with chemical cleaning methods. The premises should also be checked for pests, as the garbage, which could be seen among the boxes, must have attracted insects and, thus, needs a proper cleansing. In addition, sanitizing the premises with the help of an appropriate cleaning liquid. As far as Roy’s case is concerned, taking the cars to the local junk yard and sanitizing the area will help address the issue. In Roy’s scenario, waste disposal techniques will be required in addition to the traditional methods of cleaning. Roy must be capable of recognizing the problem and sorting the things in his possession out, making reasonable choices concerning what needs to be removed and what may remain in his possession. It will also be essential to use trucks in the process of the objects removal. In addition, the fact that the aforementioned objects are located in the area, which is Potential Physical Hazard Apart from microbial hazards to
