Used clothing wash and dry it on high

If you can't don't buy it

It's bedbugs that's the fear, not cooties

I worked at a thrift store and the folks who sorted donations there told me they had gotten scabies from dirty clothes and bedding. Multiple times.

Unlike the previous thrift store person itt, no they did not just hose off dog poo poo and call it good. Only clean items were put out for sale. But still, yeah, wash it first.

I usually give everything a good soapy handwash before anything, including condoms.

You'll probably be fine, just get all your shots and take your vitamins and wear your masks and you can eat stuff off the floor and wear your cancer Tshirts.

No, I like my hat, thanks.
I burn new clothes and rub my body with the ashes.

I don't wash clothes when I buy them. I also don't wash after I wear them. Ever.

Waste of water what's the point?

i lived with my brother for a bit and he came home wearing a pair of skinny jeans he got from a box marked "free" when he was out walking in the city. he was so stoked until i started yelling at him to take those off and wash them before wearing them any longer, he was sore about it all loving day lmao. they weren't "brand new" in this anecdote but hope this counts op
