"As a practicing front line emergency physician, we are seeing an increased number of patients seeking treatment in the emergency room for eye, nose, and throat irritation as well as respiratory impairment from exposure to cleaning chemicals," said Dr. John Parente, the company's Chief Medical Officer and board-certified emergency medicine physician.
