The "Mystery Killer"

Your car is more than just transportation. It is your pride and joy. You wash it, you wax it... you do everything you can think of or that your owner's manual tells you to do to be safe. With all this care you just might be missing the deadliest road hazard of all... your automobile air conditioning system!

Sadly, all air conditioning systems get contaminated and are never properly cleaned. Living organisms such as fungi and bacteria grow in your car's air conditioning system. When you get in the car with wet feet you put moisture in the carpeting that provides a breeding ground for contamination. As your car sits all day in the tropical heat these micro-organisms grow and multiply!!

Then, you get in the car, turn on your air conditioning and direct the cool air directly toward you. If you have a chemical air freshener in your car your air conditioner becomes a 'toxic blender' bathing you in harmful chemical toxins as well as fungi and bacteria.

The most common fungal in Malaysia is called Cladosporium. It is microscopic but DEADLY. In the US alone it is responsible for approximately 5000 deaths a year. It is found in locations as high as Genting Highlands and right down in the middle of the city in buildings straddling the Federal Highway. It is responsible for respiratory problems ranging from a runny nose to fungal infected lungs. It does not discriminate by age or gender. Symptoms are usually misdiagnosed and so it is called The Mystery Killer.

When servicing your car, don't forget to get your air conditioning checked & cleaned.
