The mission of every Infectious Awareables tie is to generate interest, discussion, even excitement about serious public health issues such as this silk Waterborne Six tie in royal blue. Believing that humor can be a powerful educational tool, Infectious Awareables neckties take an atypical, slightly irreverent approach to some very serious subjects. Shop and take pride in knowing that 25% of the proceeds will be donated to support Water.org's efforts to provide safe water and sanitation access to those in need. "Start the Conversation!" Waterborne Six. Talk about aquatic activists! Pseudomonas, Legionella, Cryptosporidium, Hepatitis A, E. coli and Norovirus are all nasty, potential water contaminants in healthcare facilities, food service and community drinking water. Water-related diseases cause millions of fatalities annually, and are responsible for a great percentage of the world's illnesses. These bad guys are not so cool sloshing about you-know-where, but they ARE styling-little-swimmers on silk! A back-of-tie "Awareness Note" and a source citation are incorporated in the pattern design, which reads: "WATERBORNE. Pseudomonas, Legionella, Cryptosporidium, Hepatitis A, E. coli and Norovirus are among potential water contaminants in healthcare facilities, food service and community drinking water. Water-related diseases cause millions of deaths annually, and are responsible for a great percentage of the world’s illnesses."
