Abstract

We developed and demonstrated the stability of recipes for simulated vomitus for use in experiments characterizing occupational exposures to body fluid during simulated healthcare activities. The recipes can be easily adapted to make other simulated bodily fluids at low costs and surrogates added to facilitate detection.
