okay not sure how to approach this gently but say that, hypothetically, you own some essential oil sprays purchased from a huge department store chain. and there is a recall because they contain deadly disease causing bacteria that has confirmed deaths and has infected and killed who knows how many people because of how rare and difficult to diagnose it is in the united states:
do not throw out the bottles. do not dump the product in the toilet. do not allow the deadly bacteria into the soil, water supply, or landfills. it is an extreme biohazard. do not throw it out. do not throw it out. do not open the bottles.
put on gloves, double bag it tightly in resealable bags, put it in a cardboard box, and give it back to any of the chain's stores. disinfect everything in the room where it was used while wearing gloves. wash sheets and blankets on hot. consider using bleach.

VENT POST:
Sick and tired of the "I can't remember a loved one's face, and therefore I should die" trope, where it makes you automatically suicidal or evil to not know what someone dear to you's meat mask looks like.
I have prosopagnosia, or face blindness, and while I get that this trope is associated with grief, it's often executed and handled extremely poorly
An example of this trope handled poorly is in Centaurworld, which, while I love the show, it has an entire musical number where the main character sings about not remembering her best friend's face, and that's her reason for JUMPING OFF A CLIFF-
Of course, she survives, and the rash decision she makes is frowned upon, but it's merely framed as "dying bad" and not "Hey, that doesn't make you a horrible person." It's not even addressed.
My response to that scene is always "Oh well fuck you, guess I'll just go die then"
I am not a bad person for not knowing what my girlfriend, my best friend, or my mother looks like. It doesn't affect how I feel about them, whatever way that may be. I still love my girlfriend and she is still beautiful to me, even if I can't remember why.
I know my disability is rare, but that doesn't make the message of this trope towards people like me any less hurtful. It shouldn't be seen as the obvious thought process to be suicidally depressed or a cold-hearted monster because you don't know what a face looks like.
This goes for blind people, and people with aphantasia as well. We're not evil or shameful. Please find a different way to convey grief and guilt without demonizing a disability
