There is a theoretical risk of infection during piercing, tattooing and sacrifition if infected bodily fluids contact disrupted skin surfaces. - Persons undergoing these procedures should have the skin prepared with an antimicrobial (e.g. chlorohexidine or povidine iodine) and partner should use late gloves. - All equiptment which pierces the skin should be autoclaved or otherwise sterilezed to a standard known to kill spores.
		There is a theoretical risk of cross-infection from sexual appliances since they may harbor traces of infected body fluids - Appliances which are not made of latex or other impervious substances should be kept solely for the use of one person - Appliances which are shared, or used with multiple partners, must be cleaned with a 10% solution of household bleach in water and thoroughly rinsed. (Lemon-scentd bleach is more aesthetically pleasing than the usual smell of hypochlorite.)
