How to quickly get fleas or other bugs out of items you can't wash in hot water: leave them in the back seat of your car in 90° weather for the day. Fleas don't like that much more than dogs or babies (lemmy.ml)

Anyway my patient had bedbugs how'd y'all's weekend go?

(Works best for fleas since they're usually a summer pest, when that 90° weather is avaliable, but works for other things if the opportunity arises.

apparently it's practically impossible for me to catch bedbugs from a patient as a nurse. I can't do my shoes in the dryer like that. I also couldn't have done my leather jacket like that when my roomates caught me some fleas. Hot car is a fab solution in certain specific situations.
