Even with milder July highs near 77 degrees in Sandwich, a parked car traps heat, so fluid odors can still build quickly. Anyone hurt in a vehicle incident should be seen at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital Plymouth in Plymouth or by a doctor before anyone thinks about the cabin.

A salvage vehicle is one an insurer has declared a total loss. Some are also tagged for contamination when blood or fluids were involved. Labels and rules vary, so ask the insurer or the state title office what applies to a specific vehicle.
It may, or it may not. It depends on whether an insurer, a salvage record or a title brand noted the contamination. Ask the seller, the insurer or the title office, and keep cleaning records.
Cleaning a biohazard car starts with protection: gloves, eye protection and a mask. Contaminated upholstery and padding are removed, hard surfaces are cleaned, and an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Heavy contamination is best left to a vehicle biohazard cleanup team.
