If you have a front-load washer, doing separate cycles (not auto-soak followed by wash) is critical to get the water change. "Quick wash" is very popular as a first cycle when working with biohazards. And yes, cold water - never hot.
Put your stuff in the washer all on its own, to avoid cross contamination. Run it on a rinse cycle with cold water.

there are two kinds of people: those who have worked intake for legal organizations, and those who have not.

This book was the first "romance" book that I had read since I was a teenager. It's post-apocalyptic fiction and there isn't any more sex in this than there is in something like Altered Carbon, which is "sci-fi".
It's great. You should consider reading it if you like post-apocalyptic fiction.
