Mark invented the Self-Disinfecting Hazmat Suit for healthcare workers during the largest Ebola virus disease epidemic in 2014. Although it was originally designed to protect healthcare workers from the Ebola virus, it can be used for protection against any highly contagious diseases such as MRSA, SARS, Anthrax, etc. Mark improved the invention by further perfecting the design and adding cooling, coloring, evaporating and thickening agents, in addition to the disinfecting solution. This provides expanded benefits to the suit.
