what to do with a dead body (possibly toxic from contagious disease)...
rule #1 - do NOT touch.
1) put VICKS VAPORUB in nostrils to protect from odor.
2) wrap shoes in plastic.
3) suit up! wear medical/kitchen gloves (we like nitrile gloves from costco), plastic apron, hat, goggles, mask (filter to 2 micron- find in pharmacy by sanitation gloves or at Peterson Medical).
4) put plastic down to protect the floor.
5) collect and write as much personal information about the deceased.
6) make a body bag- NOT PLASTIC BAG- *black 6 ml plastic, seal with duct tape, then tie. *do not cremate, bury if possible.
7) take everything off: gloves last.. bury with the body.
8) strip off your clothes and disinfect with clorox or vinegar/hydrogen peroxide.
