Re: Disinfecting components
I agree that the risk is probably small, but would suggest that it could be made even smaller with some basic precautions.
Open packages whilst out doors and wear a dust mask and gloves.
Burn the outer packaging.
Expose the components to either direct sunlight or to a germicidal lamp.
Place the components in a new and well sealed plastic bag.
Store in the sealed bag for a week before use.
When required for use, unpack and wipe with alcohol based cleaning compound. Burn the bag.
Ideally, postpone purchases for a bit.
Follow general good hygiene practices, including frequent hand washing, frequent hot laundering of clothing, towels and bedding.
If you start to get cold or flue symptoms, it is probably an ordinary cold, but take extra care.
Use paper tissues and burn the used ones.
