IF you and I go to a restaurant, we each order whatever we want to put into our body… However at that same restaurant, you and I have no choice but to breathe the same air.

Recent outbreaks of Legionaries disease has occurred in major hotels around the world and most recently on the Las Vegas strip (Luxor Hotel and Casino), making many people sick and actually killing 3 people vacationing at Diamante Beach Hotel in Calpe, southern Spain. Both outbreaks occurred in February 2012.

Legionellosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by gram negative, aerobic bacteria belonging to the genus Legionella. Over 90% of legionellosis cases are caused by Legionella pneumophila, a ubiquitous aquatic organism that thrives in temperatures between 25 and 45°C (77 and 113°F), with an optimum temperature of 35°C (95°F).

The cruise line industry is said to be losing millions of dollars per year, in part because travellers have been cruising less because of the scare of airborne and surface diseases caused by pathogens such as molds, bacteria and fungi that builds up in the airflow system and can then travel through the duct system directly into cabins and basically throughout the entire ship. They are on surfaces in kitchens and food preparation areas and cause serious gastrointestinal sickness. Recent outbreaks of mass illness on ships have put a dent in the cruise line pocketbooks because the ship has to be disinfected and cleared by health departments before the ship can set sail again. Most recently, 200 people developed the same stomach illness on Princess Cruise lines, which also occurred in February 2012. The more serious issue is that people are actually dying from contracting these different diseases from the air they breathe and food from contaminated preparation areas.

These airborne and surface diseases and infections caused by bacteria and fungi and viruses are major problems for the travel and tourism industry, but it doesn’t stop there. Have you ever thought about how clean a chicken farm is? Chickens eat and defecate in the same place right on top of each other. Owners of the chicken farms do the best they know how using disinfectants, but usually the disinfectants can create an even worse effect because of their toxicity levels, not only to the chickens but to the people who eat that bird.

The problem with fighting airborne and surface diseases like legionnaires, black mold, Salmonella, Norovirus or even E coli, is that the chemicals that are known to kill these types of pathogens can also be injurious to people.

Arthur V Martin’s Path-Away

Enter Path-Away® into the marketplace. Path-Away is made from all natural occurring ingredients and kills more than 150 pathogens such as molds, bacteria, yeasts and viruses. Path-Away is completely safe to humans explains scientist Arthur V Martin, the developer of Path-Away. Arthur V Martin, a globally recognised scientist, author, lecturer and infection control specialist based in the USA is dedicated to turn around this epidemic and provide a safe, healthy and sustainable indoor environment for occupants and curb the spread of infectious diseases. Art was nominated for the 2011 Kochon Prize awarded by WHO, World Health Organiation, for his work with tuberculosis. After 10 years of extensive research and documented testing, Path-Away is now being introduced to the hospitality and travel industry.

This all natural product has recently been approved by the Country of New Zealand’s Environmental Protection Authority.

Path-Away is currently being utilised by hospitals throughout South Asia. Path-Away has been used by the several of the world’s largest hotel and casino venues by the cleaning staff to spray down each room on a daily basis.

Global Infection Control LLC recently did a study utilising Path-Away at a large chicken farm in the USA and results were incredible. “The percentage of product loss was brought down to astoundingly figure of less than 2 per cent,” explains Dr Martin and “the birds are also bigger healthier and stronger.”

In collaboration with Joe Risk, President of Green Engineering Global Solutions, Inc (GEGSI), Path-Away is exclusively being introduced throughout the Caribbean region. GEGSI is now developing a Duct Dispersement unit that will fit into any Air-conditioning/Heating duct system for homes, office buildings, hospitals, hotels and yes even cruise ships. “I believe the Path-Away® product can help to curb the spreading of infectious diseases. I also believe the unit for the duct system that my partner Ron Webb and I have designed will be beneficial to many businesses in the Caribbean,” said Joe Risk.

Path-Away and GEGSI currently make its products available commercially through the use of a fogging type gun that actually sprays the Path-Away solution throughout buildings manually. Path-Away is also available for consumer use as an all natural sanitiser in a small 2 oz, 60 ml plastic spray bottle. Using the Path-Away spray on kitchen counters, bathroom area or anywhere hands or mouth might touch will keep things like Salmonella and E coli from infecting one.
