I don't mind some experimentation as long as you tell me what the risks are.
[ Midnight nods. Well, he's terminal anyway, right? Not much left to lose. ]
Sanitation-wise, I believe the safest way to treat an Oripathy patient is through very minimal, non-physical contact...
[ And he'll go on with the explanation, most of which is covered here in more detail, but the beats he goes through mainly focus on how to keep Daan from catching it instead of what happens to him upon death. Everything that touches Midnight that can be burned should be as soon as possible, even it doesn't come in contact with his blood; heat based sanitation and basic antiseptic practices should be used anywhere else. If his blood does come in contact with anything other than tools, the area needs to be sanitized immediately: fabric should be burned in drastic cases, skin should be cleaned and point of contact should be monitored for a few days. And so on.
It's a pretty lengthy explanation, and besides the emphasis on burning and heating everything, it's pretty standard practice. It's kind of dry, but it's hard to keep a safety talk from being dry, and Midnight's uninterested in being entertaining at the moment. ]
... Fortunately, Oripathy tends to stick to the blood and the nervous system, so as long as you don't touch an open wound... Well, it's not as though a sneeze will put you in danger. [ He sighs. This was a bit dull for him too, but it's important. ] I... think that's it, unless you planning on drawing blood? That's also a bit complicated.
