Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
